vectors are generated.
2. Euclidean distance and Manhattan distance is
calculated between each testing image feature vector
and each training image feature vector.
3. Minimum distance indicates the most similar training

This paper proposes to prepare the feature vector from an
image column transform and use it for image classification.
This gives considerable saving of computational time as
compared to full transform. The paper investigates the
performance of different transforms. The performance is
tested thoroughly using different criteria like distance
measure (Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance); size of
feature vector (75, 150, 225, 300, 450 and 768) and training
sets (feature vectors, average of feature vectors). Conclusion
