1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
generating, by a processor, based at least in part on one or more images of a physical object and within a virtual environment, a first virtual model of the physical object, wherein the first virtual model is comprised of a first plurality of features;
displaying, by the processor, the first virtual model on a display of a user electronic device;
receiving, by the processor, and in the virtual environment, an annotation at a virtual coordinate of a feature of the first plurality of features;
translating, by the processor, the received virtual coordinate into Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates corresponding to a real-world location of the feature;
generating, by the processor, a notification comprising the GPS coordinates and transmitting, by the processor, the notification to a remote imaging vehicle,
capturing, by the processor via the remote imaging vehicle, at least one image of the feature at the real-world location and receiving, by the processor, the at least one captured image from the remote imaging vehicle;
generating, by the processor, a second virtual model of the physical object by updating the first virtual model using the at least one captured image, wherein the second virtual model comprises a second plurality of features; and
displaying, by the processor, the second virtual model on the display.
