11. A system comprising: a query-server and a set of distributed image-matching servers; the query-server comprising: a. a receiver for receiving a query image; b. a split module for sending a request to one or more image-matching servers of the set of distributed image-matching servers to conduct an image-search; c. a merge module configured to: i. receive a list of identified matches corresponding to the query image from the one or more image-matching servers, wherein the list of matches is identified based on the image-search at the one or more image-matching servers; ii. assign a score to each respective identified match from the list of identified matches based at least in part on an extent of matching between the respective identified match and the query image; and ii. select one or more matches from the list of identified matches based on the assigned scores; and d. a replicating module configured to: i. replicate a down-scaled form of a plurality of images; ii. store the plurality of replicated images and a set of feature-points associated with the plurality of replicated images at an image database and a feature database, of the one or more image-matching servers of the set of distributed image-matching servers respectively; and iii. assign a subset of the replicated images to the image database of the one or more image-matching servers, wherein the subset is selected based on one or more of: a number of query images received corresponding to a particular set of images; and a total number of images stored in the image databases of the image-matching servers; and the set of distributed image-matching servers comprising extracting modules for extracting feature-points from the query image.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more image-matching servers of the set of distributed image-matching servers further comprise an image searching module for matching a set of feature-points extracted from the query image with the set of feature-points associated with the plurality of replicated images stored in the feature database.
