vector<Mat> planes_for_first_image;//Vector of Matrix created to hold the channels present in the input image

normalize(BlueHist1, BlusHist1, 0,histImage.rows, NORM_MINIMAX, -1, Mat() );

normalize(GreenHist2, GreenHist2, 0,histImage.rows, NORM_MINIMAX, -1, Mat() );
normalize(RedHist2, RedHist2, 0,histImage.rows, NORM_MINIMAX, -1, Mat() );

float distance_blue_plane= compareHist(BlueHist1, BlueHist2, CV_COMP_BHATTACHARYYA);// Histogram can be compared with Bhattacharyya distance or Chisqure or Correl or Hellinger or intersect use can use any one of these
float distance_green_plane= compareHist(GreenHist1, GreenHist2, CV_COMP_CHISQR);//I am just giving examples u can use any one .
float distance_red_place= compareHist(RedHist1, RedHist2, CV_COMP_CORREL);

cout<<distnace_blue_plane<<endl;
cout<<distance_green_plane<<endl;
cout<<distance_red_plane<<endl;



return 0;
}

I think for histogram comparison these method for distance calculations are better than Euclidean distance. If I am wrong please update me.
