1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprising:
one or more image sensors;
a propulsion mechanism; and
one or more processors configured by executable instructions to:
receive, from a computing device, an indication of a target and one or more scan parameters for scanning the target;
capture, with the one or more image sensors, while the UAV is in flight, a plurality of images of the target;
compare a first image of the plurality of images with a second image of the plurality of images to determine a difference between a current frame of reference position for the UAV and an estimate of an actual frame of reference position for the UAV; and
determine, based at least on the difference, and while the UAV is in flight, an update to a three-dimensional (3D) model of the target.
