Now days new technologies are booming due to their higher speed and security, large storage and latest applications. Area of Image Processing also enriched with such latest techniques like advanced applications. But as the human face is non-rigid object, the robust face recognition under uncontrolled conditions is still challenging which make it an interesting area of researchers. LDP gives better texture encoding approach than LBP [2] and the generalization of LBP is LTP [5.] This paper analyses performance of Local Directional Pattern (LDP) over Local Ternary Pattern (LTP) in Face Recognition. The illumination invariance is handled by Weber Local descriptor (WLD) and face recognition process is done by Speed up Robust Feature (SURF) technique.
