A hemispherical LiDAR for close-range 3D perception, full coverage, and indoor detection

  • Hemispherical field of view: 180° vertical and 360° horizontal.
  • Range at 10% reflectivity: up to 20 m in 1024 mode at 10 Hz.
  • Range at 80% reflectivity: up to 45 m.
  • Maximum representable range: 250 m.
  • Zero minimum range: 0.0 m for detection as close as possible to the sensor.
  • Native color point cloud: RGB-D data with native spatial and temporal alignment.
  • Configurable resolution: 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096 horizontally.
  • Vertical resolution: 32, 64, or 128 channels.
  • Configurable frequency: from 5 to 40 Hz.
  • Up to 2 returns: with multiple return ordering modes.
  • Synchronized IMU: 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer.
  • Compact format: 87 mm diameter for a weight of around 540 g.

The OSDome REV8 stands out with its 180° vertical field of view, making it especially relevant for applications where close-range coverage, immediate environment awareness, and multi-angle detection are essential. Its positioning is clear: to provide dense hemispherical perception for indoor spaces, instrumented ceilings, traffic areas, service robots, autonomous mobile robots, and monitoring systems.

The REV8 generation adds native color, L4 architecture, and more integrated perception

The REV8 family introduces a major evolution in Ouster’s perception pipeline, with an approach that combines native color, 3D data fused directly inside the sensor, and low latency. The goal is to provide a more usable foundation for robot vision, multimodal perception, and Physical AI workflows.

  • Native color: the REV8 generation introduces a native color lidar with RGB-D point cloud output.
  • 3D / color alignment: spatial and temporal consistency between geometry and color.
  • Color depth: up to 48 bits total, or 16 bits per channel.
  • Dynamic range: 116 dB.
  • L4 Ouster Silicon architecture: up to 42.9 GMACS of processing power.
  • Photon throughput: up to 20 trillion photons per second.
  • Color science: an approach built with DXOMARK and Fujifilm Color Science.

For an R&D team, these elements reinforce the value of the OSDome REV8 in workflows that combine 3D geometry, color, localization, sensor fusion, and scene analysis. The sensor is especially relevant when perception must remain usable at very short range, with a coherent reading of the environment across a very wide vertical angle.

Indoor people tracking, security, mobile robots, and smart infrastructure: relevant use cases for the Ouster OSDome REV8

The Ouster OSDome REV8 LiDAR is suited to projects that require a combination of hemispherical coverage, close-range detection, and rich data output. It is suitable for systems that need to observe the immediate environment with a high level of vertical coverage, especially indoors or in semi-structured areas.

  • Indoor people tracking: full coverage for passageways, halls, warehouses, or public spaces.
  • Security and monitoring: presence detection, zone tracking, and system awareness.
  • Smart infrastructure: 3D perception for intelligent buildings, supervision, and flow analysis.
  • Mobile robots and vehicles: proximity detection, motion safety, and immediate environment awareness.
  • Indoor robots: very wide coverage for local navigation, obstacle avoidance, and embedded perception.
  • Research and development: integration into workflows with ROS 2, ROS, MATLAB, NVIDIA Driveworks, and Isaac Sim.

In an integration context, the OSDome REV8 features UDP over gigabit Ethernet output, an HTTPS API control interface, and functions such as the on-sensor 3D Zone Monitor, multi-sensor phase lock, azimuth masking, minimum range adjustment, return ordering, and a low-power standby mode. It can therefore serve as a working base for projects involving navigation, zone monitoring, sensor fusion, or robot vision.
