Ouster and Outsight Accelerate Digital Lidar Adoption
The combination of lidars and pre-processing software allows 3D perception to be integrated into industrial automation and smart infrastructure application
SAN FRANCISCO & PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ouster, a leading provider of high-performance digital LiDAR sensors, and Outsight announced today the first integrated solution in the LiDAR industry with embedded data processing software.
Ouster invented digital LiDAR technology in 2015 with a vision of making high-performance, ubiquitous, and affordable lidar-powered solutions across numerous industries.
With a similar goal in mind, Outsight invented the point-cloud data processing software to make 3D lidar easier than ever to use.
The combination of these two industry-leading products results in an end-to-end solution that delivers robust, usable data to customers while accelerating their time-to-market and decreasing product development costs.
“Ouster and Outsight’s strategic partnership represents our shared vision for making 3D lidar-powered solutions that are useful, simple, and affordable for every customer in every industry,” said Cyrille Jacquemet, general manager of Europe and the Middle East at Ouster. “We believe Ouster’s high-resolution lidar and Outsight’s unique 3D LiDAR Data processing software will allow customers to fully leverage LiDAR data in any application. Together, we are advancing safe, ubiquitous autonomy with this comprehensive solution.”
“By teaming up with Ouster, we created the first one-stop-shop for a comprehensive perception solution,” said Sebastien de la Bastie, Chief Business Officer at Outsight. “Our integrated kit has the right versatility for R&D experimentation and the right performance, robustness and scalability for large, real-world deployments. Together, we fill the gap between both worlds and dramatically accelerate customer’s time-to-market.”
All-in-one solution: 3D digital lidar sensors with real-time data processing software
Ouster brings advanced 3D vision to diverse applications where real-time 3D perception, reliability, and 360-degree monitoring are required. Designed to IP68 and IP9K standards, Ouster’s sensors are built to withstand extreme weather conditions.
Further, Outsight’s proprietary Spatial AI-driven algorithms can accurately detect, track, and classify objects without any kind of training or data labeling.
This not only reduces customers’ applications power consumption and bandwidth requirements, but also allows customers to be up and running with the solution almost immediately and without any need for long data annotation processes.
This solution is already commercially available in Europe for industrial automation and smart city applications.
Looking ahead: bringing 3D LiDAR-based technology to all industries
Together, Ouster and Outsight are accelerating safe, ubiquitous autonomy with plug-and-play solutions that are useful, reliable, and easy to integrate across all industries.
The companies plan to extend the partnership to collaborate on additional solutions in numerous industries, including robotics and industrial vehicles.
