The invention discloses a face recognition method based deep learning and a face recognition device thereof and electronic equipment. The method comprises the steps that a convolutional neural network model is constructed, and the convolutional neural network model comprises a first convolution unit, a first pooling layer, multiple convolution combinations, a second pooling layer and full connection layers which are connected in turn, wherein the first convolution unit comprises a first convolution layer, a batch normalization layer and an excitation function layer, the excitation function layer simultaneously uses a ReLU function and a NReLU function to act as the excitation function, and the adjacent convolution combinations are connected by the short circuit layer of the residual network; and the convolutional neural network model is trained, the training data are inputted to the convolutional neural network model and training is performed by using the stochastic gradient descent method, and the last full connection layer is removed out of the trained convolutional neural network model and then only forward propagation is performed so as to act as the face feature data required for face recognition. ReLU + NReLU are used as the excitation function so that the computational burden can be reduced, the accuracy can be guaranteed, the model size can be reduced and the operation speed can be enhanced.
