LiDAR Ouster OS1 medium range high performance

Ouster OS1 digital LiDAR: a new-definition LiDAR

This new series of LiDARs by Ouster is a clear demonstration of the company’s technological acumen. With the OS1, you get a choice of 32, 64 or 128 channels and a broader detection range compared to the OS0. The LiDAR can recognise obstacles up to 120 metres away in a fixed or moving environment, and in all weather conditions.

Not only does it have a high dust and moisture ingress protection, but the OS1 LiDAR also benefits from all the functionalities of the L2X system-on-chip. The L2X chip promises an excellent level of consistent detection and definition in literally any weather, even a smoky environment.

The L2X system doubles the processing power and output data, enabling your device to meet all navigation and robotic vision requirements. It is also particularly lightweight, so can be easily mounted on all systems.

Uniform, gradient, below or above horizon?

To make sure its devices adapt as successfully as possible to your own specific project, Ouster offers 4 possible configurations for its OS1-32 and OS1-64 models:

• “Uniform”, which performs a balanced scan above and below the horizon line with a total field of view of 45°
• “Gradient”, which allows you to segment this field of view to tailor the LiDAR’s capabilities more specifically to the environment you’re exploring and according to your needs
• Below Horizon”, which offers a narrower scan radius (22.5°) oriented exclusively below the horizon line
• And finally “Above Horizon”, offering a vertical field of view of (22.5°) oriented above the horizon line

Please note that you won’t get these configuration options with the OS1-128, which has a 45° vertical field of view with 128 channels.
