Optic flow sensor

Is there any way to add an optic flow sensor for indoor position hold?  Any plans to add support for this at some future date?

It's a reasonable request.  The sensors I have seen are not that good though (light and resolution) and require IMU support.  I am hoping for a full SFM/SLAM with a cheap standard video camera.  :)  Give it a couple years...  Or Google
LSD SLAM
DSO SLAM
for some inspiration...

Cliff I have PX optical flow board one with sonar and low res camera. Haven't played with it yet. I haven't seen it popular but maybe worth testing ;)
