A new approach to index color images using the features extracted from the error diffusion Block truncation coding (EDBTC). The EDBTC produces two color quantizes and a bitmap Image, which is further, managed using vector quantization (VQ) to create the image feature Descriptor. Herein two features are presented namely, colour histogram feature (CHF),bit Pattern histogram feature (BHF) to measure the similarity between a query image and the Target image in database. The CHF and BHF are calculated from the VQ-indexed color quantized and VQ- indexed bitmap image, respectively. The distance calculated from CHF and BHF can be utilized to measure the similarity between two images.
