Robust face representation is imperative to highly accurate face recognition. In this work, we propose an open source face recognition method with deep representation named as VIPLFaceNet, which is a 10-layer deep convolutional neural network with 7 convolutional layers and 3 fully-connected layers. Compared with the well-known AlexNet, our VIPLFaceNet takes only 20 time and 60 real-world face recognition benchmark LFW. Our VIPLFaceNet achieves 98.60 accuracy on LFW using one single network. An open-source C++ SDK based on VIPLFaceNet is released under BSD license. The SDK takes about 150ms to process one face image in a single thread on an i7 desktop CPU. VIPLFaceNet provides a state-of-the-art start point for both academic and industrial face recognition applications.
