Example: given a program understands what a chair is, you give the program a chair it has never seen before. It can answer yes or no whether the object is a chair. It might be wrong. Now we give the program designed to recognize people examples of an Abraham Lincoln at different ages (with time). We present a picture of Abraham Lincoln that the program has never seen before and ask is this Abe. The program might again answer incorectly but from a global aspect the problem is the same. Objects with time are just classes of objects. Not that the problem is not difficult as you have said, I just think it is all the same difficult problem. I hope I understood your problem.
