Without specialized hardware and/or a lot of custom optimization, I'm doubtful that you'll be able to run an optical flow algorithm much faster than 15 Hz at any decent resolution. At that framerate with a robot traveling 12 ft/s, you'll see displacements of 10 inches/frame. Getting an unobstructed view of that much carpet beneath your robot seems like it would be a challenge, assuming you can even reliably track displacements that large using the texture of the carpet.
