14. An apparatus identifying an object of interest in a sequence of images, the apparatus comprising: a memory; and at least one hardware device, coupled to the memory, operative to: obtain an identification from a user of an example object having at least one attribute of interest; generate a query object based on said identified example object, wherein said query object has a substantially similar viewpoint as objects in said sequence of images and wherein said query object comprises a plurality of attributes that are substantially similar as said example object, wherein said query object is generated by translating said identified example object to provide a substantially similar viewpoint as objects in said sequence of images; and process said sequence of images to identify said object of interest based on a similarity metric to said query object.
