The face is an efficient physiological biometric trait to authenticate a person without any cooperation. In this paper, we propose an Overlap Local Binary Pattern (OLBP) on Transform Domain based Face Recognition (OTDFR). The two sets of OLBP features are generated from transform domain. The first set of Overlap Local Binary Pattern (OLBP) features are extracted from Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) coefficients of High frequency components of Discrete Wavelet Transforms (DWT). The second set of OLBP features are extracted from DTCWT coefficients. The final features are generated by concatenating features of set 1 and set 2. The test image features are compared with database features using Euclidian Distance (ED). It is observed that the percentage recognition rate is high in the case of proposed algorithm compared to existing algorithms
