Optical fibers can be used as sensors to measure, , and other quantities by modifying a fiber so that the quantity to be measured modulates the,,, or transit time of light in the fiber. Sensors that vary the intensity of light are the simplest, since only a simple source and detector are required. A particularly useful feature of intrinsic fiber-optic sensors is that they can, if required, provide distributed sensing over very large distances.
An Optical Flow setup requires a downward facing camera and a downward facing distance sensor (preferably a LiDAR). These can be combined in a single product, such as the Ark Flow and Holybro H-Flo.

Optical Flow uses a downward facing camera and a downward facing distance sensor for velocity estimation. It can be used to determine speed when navigating without GNSS — in buildings, undergr.
