OS2: Ouster’s longest-range OS lidar
Equipped with the revolutionary L3 chip, the Ouster OS2 detects 10% reflective targets at 200 metres and boasts a maximum range of 400 metres. This gives it the unique ability to track vehicles and objects beyond a quarter of a mile in any direction.
In addition to its long range, it delivers rich and detailed data thanks to a rate of 2.6 million points per second.
Available in two versions, offering 64 or 128 channels of resolution, the OS2 lidar can operate in all weather conditions due to a IP68 and IP69K ingress protection and is resistant to extreme shock and vibration.
A lidar powered by the new L3 chip
The L3 chip has a rear lighting technology that processes light much more efficiently than its predecessor. It provides more point clouds, allowing it to identify physical details (walls, corners, small objects) unseen by other lidars.
The OS2 is a new-generation lidar that allows real-world deployment of autonomous vehicles: robotaxis, shuttles, buses and trucks.
Gemini, a perception platform compatible with Ouster LiDAR
The Ouster Gemini platform aims to improve safety, intelligent transportation systems or smart cities. It enhances detection and classification performance with more accurate and comprehensive people and vehicle tracking data.
This advanced solution simplifies operations and is more cost-effective, as it requires less sensors.
The Unshakable Alliance: Ouster LiDAR Optimized by AI for Technological Revolution
Ouster LiDARs harness Artificial Intelligence to optimize their technology, achieving unprecedented speed and precision across a range of applications.
In the context of autonomous driving, AI plays a crucial role in processing the massive data collected by Ouster LiDAR sensors. The integration of AI enables Ouster LiDARs to make real-time decisions, taking into account multiple parameters and thereby enhancing road safety.
In the field of robotics, AI combined with Ouster LiDAR data provides enhanced perception for robots. This enables them to navigate through complex environments, avoid obstacles, and accomplish a variety of tasks autonomously.
In mapping, the combination of AI and Ouster LiDAR data allows precise modeling of topography. The 3D information obtained through LiDAR sensors facilitates the creation of detailed maps, improving urban planning, resource management, and emergency response.
Artificial Intelligence is thus indispensable in Ouster LiDAR technology.
