Ouster OS2-64 Rev7

Key Features and Specifications

• Long-Range Performance: Equipped with the L3 chip, the OS2-64 Rev7 delivers Ouster’s longest range, capable of detecting a 10% reflective target at 200 meters and boasting a maximum representable range of over 400 meters.³ This enables robust object tracking at long distances.
• High Resolution: It provides 64 channels of vertical resolution with a ⁴$22.5^\circ$ vertical field of view (FOV) and a ⁵$360^\circ$ horizontal FOV.⁶ Horizontal resolution is configurable up to 2048.
• High Point Cloud Density: The sensor delivers rich, detailed data with up to 1.3 million points per second (in 64-channel mode).
• Enhanced Data Output: It supports Dual Return mode, which provides two returns (strongest and second strongest) per laser firing, improving detection performance in complex environments.
• Embedded Near-Infrared (NIR) Camera: The L3 chip enhances Ouster’s unique 2D camera-grade NIR data layer, which is perfectly aligned with the 3D point cloud data, allowing for combined vision and lidar perception algorithms.
• Rugged and Reliable: Rated IP68/IP69K for superior ingress protection against dust, water, and high-pressure spray, making it suitable for all-weather, indoor/outdoor deployment.¹⁰ It also features a greater resistance to shock and vibration.
• Compact Form Factor: The Rev7 maintains the same small, lightweight (1100g), and power-efficient design as previous generations.
• Precision: The sensor offers high ranging precision, typically ¹³$\pm 2 \text{ cm}$ to ¹⁴$\pm 8 \text{ cm}$.
• Integrated IMU: Includes a built-in Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to support SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithms and motion compensation.
• Beam Configuration: The 64-channel model offers configurable beam options, including Uniform (default), Gradient, Above Horizon, and Below Horizon to tailor the vertical FOV to specific application needs.

Rev7 Improvements (over previous generations)

The Rev7 generation, specifically due to the L3 chip, offers a number of key enhancements:

• 2x Range Increase on 10% reflective targets.
• 10x Increase in Photon Sensitivity for improved dark object detection.
• Reduced Minimum Range (down to 0.8 meters, or 0 cm with specific firmware).
• Increased Maximum Operating Temperature (up to ²²$+65^\circ\text{C}$).
• Dual Return Mode support for enhanced data output.

The Ouster OS2-64 Rev7 is a top-tier choice for customers seeking a powerful, reliable, and cost-effective long-range digital lidar solution for safety-critical and high-performance applications
