In some examples, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may include one or more processors configured to capture, with one or more image sensors, and while the UAV is in flight, a plurality of images of a target. The one or more processors may 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. In addition, the one or more processors may determine, based at least on the difference, and while the UAV is in flight, an update to a three-dimensional model of the target.
