Abstract: Recently image recognition becomes vital task using several methods. One of the most interesting used methods is using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). It is widely used for this purpose. However, since there are some tasks that have small features that are considered an essential part of a task, then classification using CNN is not efficient because most of those features diminish before reaching the final stage of classification. In this work, analyzing and exploring essential parameters that can influence model performance. Furthermore different elegant prior contemporary models are recruited to introduce new leveraging model. Finally, a new CNN architecture is proposed which achieves state-of-the-art classification results on the different challenge benchmarks. The experimented are conducted on MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CIFAR-100 datasets. Experimental results showed that the results outperform and achieve superior results comparing to the most contemporary approaches.
