Ouster has introduced on-sensor 3D Zone Monitoring, a new feature that enables a lidar sensor to detect surrounding objects within user-defined zones and trigger real-time alerts or actions. Ouster is embedding 3D zone monitoring directly into the REV7 OS0, OS1 and OSDome sensor lineup.
3D Zone Monitoring’s primary functionality supports collision avoidance on moving vehicles, such as forklifts, with warnings, deceleration and emergency stop.
Key features include:
• Custom 3D Zones: Create and store up to 128 distinct 3D zones on-sensor for flexible monitoring.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Actively monitor up to 16 zones with real-time statistics.
• Configurable Filters: Reduce false positives in the presence of obscurants with tunable filters for each zone.
• Dynamic Zone Switching: Rapidly switch between active zones based on vehicle inputs such as speed and steer angle.
• Parallel Data Processing: Monitor zones and simultaneously output raw point cloud data for more complex tasks.
