The Ouster Multi Layer LiDAR already enjoys a very large user base after a very short time on the market. Due to the wide product range, this LiDAR is suitable for almost any application where a large amount of data is required. In combination with the provided ROS interface, the acquired data can be further processed and transformed for the desired task area.
Improvements of Generation 2
With Generation 2, 128 layers are also possible in addition to the various features listed below.
- Up to 128 Layers
- Resolution: 0,35°
- Accuracy +/- 1,5cm
- Bigger FOV (Field of View)
- Measurements > 0m possible (OS1)
- High Performance Dynamik with which up to 10x more details can be captured
Differences to other competitors
In a direct comparison, the Ouster LiDARs are characterized by a sensational price/performance ratio. Competitors set their sales price, if they have a LiDAR in their range, which can keep up with the large number of layers of Ouster, at up to 10x (ten times). Nevertheless, there are only a few competitors in this market who have longer experience than Ouster, and because of this, still have some technical refinements.
Software Support
The Ouster 3D-LiDAR are not only of very high quality, but can also convince with very good software support. The US company provides a visualization tool for Windows, MAC & Linux as well as a Microsoft Visual Studio API, C++ library and full ROS support. As a result, the implementation of an Ouster sensor in a UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) or UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is possible within a very short time and in a very comfortable way.
