Image retrieval via colour histogram

Hi

I am working on a program which retrieves an image based on the query image.
The images are stored and displayed in a frame and their histograms for each image are also obtained (including the query image).

However I have problem with following part of the program. I need to obtain the distances (of histograms) between the query image and each of the other images. and then display the closest image to the query image.

 for (int b = 0; b < 3; b++) {
               for (int j = 0; j < 256; j++) {   // for RGB 256*3
                  for (int i = 1; i < 11; i++)   // number of images 1 to 11
            {
           
         D1= histogram[0].getFrequency(b, j) - histogram[i].getFrequency(b, j);
       
           Sum += D1*D1;
           if(Sum < Summ){
            Sum = Summ;
          }
           Summ = Sum;
   //       else{
  //           Summ = Sum;
  //       }      
          }  
          }
       
            System.out.println(" Distance " + Sum + "");
     
However 1st of all I don't know how to find the shortest distance
And then how to use the shortest distance to know that which histogram and therefore image it belongs to
and finaly how to use it to retreive that image to display

Thanks for your time
