Hi @Stef, welcome to the forum! 🙂

I’m not aware of anyone actively pursuing this, and [past discussions](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/px4flow-optical-flow-camera-for-bluerov2/3608/2) indicate it’s not expected to work well in water.

Performance expectations aside, most current DVL integrations are using the autopilot’s optical flow functionality, so it should at least be possible to pass any estimates you generate to the autopilot 🙂
