in thread uploading a file with the same name

Or use the process ID as a portion of the name, ie image-$PID-$INCREMENTING_COUNTER, that should do the trick. So long as the operation is atomic within the PID it'll be fine (which it is).

    Not necessarely. For instance if you are using a threaded webserver in combination with mod_perl. Whether each thread inside the same process get its own PID depends on the OS.
