Abstract
Obtaining potential match results for a reference image across a plurality of system sites is disclosed. A computing device of one of the system sites includes a signature generator identifiable as a first version amongst a plurality of versions of a respective plurality of possible signature generators. The computing device is configured to generate, within the first signature generator, a first signature corresponding to a cropped object portion of a larger image. The first signature is distinctive to the first version. The computing device is further configured to determine that the cropped object portion being processed within the computing device is a match result for a similar images search. A server is configured to receive the cropped object portion and the first signature from the computing device.
