Ouster Lidar Sensors

Connect to Ouster® sensors and stream point clouds directly into MATLAB® for processing and visualization

Ouster builds high-resolution 3-D lidar sensors for use in autonomous vehicles, robots, drones, mapping, defense, and security systems.

The Lidar Toolbox™ Support Package for Ouster Lidar Sensors enables you to connect to Ouster sensors from MATLAB and stream live data into a pointCloud object. In MATLAB, you can then process and visualize the point clouds, as well as save the data to disk.

The support package supports these Ouster sensor models:

  • OS1-16

  • OS0-32

  • OS1-32

  • OS2-32

  • OS Dome-32

  • OS0-64

  • OS1-64

  • OS2-64

  • OS Dome-64

  • OS0-128

  • OS1-128

  • OS2-128

  • OS Dome-128

The support package supports these firmware versions for the supported Ouster lidar sensors:

  • 2.0

  • 2.1

  • 2.2

  • 2.3

  • 2.4

  • 2.5

  • 3.0

  • 3.1
