PX4FLOW is a smart optical flow sensor. The sensor has a native 752 x 480 pixel resolution. The optical flow is calculated using a 4x grading and cropping algorithm. The calculation speed is 250Hz (daytime, outdoor) with very high sensitivity.

 

Unlike other mouse sensors, it can operate in indoor or outdoor dim light at 120Hz (dark, indoor) calculations without the need to illuminate the LEDs. You can also reprogram it to perform other basic, efficient low-level machine vision tasks. The PX4FLOW (Optical Flow) Sensor is a specialized high resolution downward pointing camera module and a 3-axis gyro that uses the ground texture and visible features to determine aircraft ground velocity.
