hey all i thinks you can use A1 sitemap generator to generate an image sitemap. then submit to Google through webmaster tools but first you have to remove the image folder from your robots.txt as you have disallowed the crawling there.

An Image sitemap file can provide Googlebot with more information about the images found on your website.The structure of an image sitemap is similar to that of an XML sitemap for your webpages.

Once you have optimized the images present on your website and when the image sitemap is submitted, the images are no less than content. The images will also be regularly crawled by the search engines. Moreover, people who are searching for images for the products/services offered by you, there are higher possibilities that your website will rank in the search results. Image sitemap provides with enhanced visibility in terms of image search that is an important factor in creating and maintaining a good web presence.

To give Google information about images on your site, you'll need to begin by creating a standard web Sitemap. For each URL you list in your Sitemap, add additional information about important images on that page
