Ouster, Inc. outlined how stereo cameras and digital lidar each address separate aspects of 3D perception technology.
According to the company, Stereolabs ZED cameras utilize stereo vision to produce dense point clouds, capturing color, texture, and depth from a single frame. Meanwhile, digital lidar is described as offering centimeter-level accurate 3D range data independent of color or texture, providing a complementary solution for perception systems. The differentiation highlights the respective strengths these technologies bring to robotics, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Ouster, Inc. has previously introduced BlueCity smart intersections that leverage lidar and AI for improved urban safety and congestion management. The company has also expanded its lidar technology into robotics with its JT and REV7 humanoid platforms. These developments reflect Ouster’s strategy to position its hardware across multiple sectors.
