About OSDome Lidar Sensor

OSDome is Ouster's hemispherical rotating digital LiDAR for near-range robot and vehicle perception, indoor people tracking and spatial monitoring. Its 360-degree horizontal coverage and 180-degree vertical field of view cover a hemisphere from one mounting position. The Rev8 design uses Ouster's L4 silicon and adds native RGB-D colour output alongside range, reflectivity and near-infrared data.

The family offers 32-, 64- and 128-channel configurations. Its Rev8 rating is 20 metres on a 10-percent-reflective target at 1024 horizontal samples and 10 Hz in 100-klux sunlight. Scan modes and return settings control update rate and bandwidth; a host computer interprets the measurements for downstream tasks. Gigabit Ethernet, the Ouster SDK and ROS support provide integration paths. The housing weighs 540 grams without a baseplate and requires the specified cable sealing and thermal mounting for its environmental ratings.
