Ouster and DXOMARK Announce Strategic Collaboration on the World\u2019s First Native Color Lidar with REV8<\/b><\/p>\n

Leverages image quality expertise to support the development and optimization of next-generation lidar<\/i><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Ouster, Inc.<\/a> (Nasdaq: OUST) (\u201cOuster\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, announced today its strategic collaboration with DXOMARK<\/a>, a global leader in image quality evaluation and developer of advanced testing solutions. This partnership aims to test and optimize the next generation of sensing technologies, starting with the new Ouster Rev8 OS family, the world\u2019s first native color lidar.<\/p>\n

DXOMARK tests image quality and color accuracy on Ouster’s Rev8 OS digital lidar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAs sensing technologies evolve toward more complex, multi-modal systems, the need for accurate, reliable, and standardized performance evaluation becomes critical. This collaboration brings DXOMARK’s 20 years of expertise in image quality testing and sensor benchmarking to Ouster\u2019s cutting-edge digital lidar technology to support the development and optimization of next-generation sensing products. Through rigorous independent testing, DXOMARK enables Ouster to maximize system performance and image quality for the most demanding real-world environments.<\/p>\n

\nDuring the development of Ouster Rev8, DXOMARK provided a comprehensive analysis of Image Sensor Processing and conducted a series of advanced tests to assess and optimize system performance in real-world scenarios. These included computation and evaluations of color fidelity, environmental robustness, and perception accuracy under varying lighting and weather conditions, ensuring Rev8 meets the requirements of next generation use cases.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cDXOMARK is a leader in image quality testing across multiple industries. Their rigorous and trusted benchmarking methodologies make them an ideal partner as we continue to push the boundaries of sensing performance and perception systems,\u201d said Ouster CEO Angus Pacala.<\/p>\n

\nWhere traditional cameras struggle in adverse weather and lidar has historically been limited to near-infrared light, Ouster\u2019s Rev8 native color lidar bridges the gap. By expanding the sensor\u2019s vision to the full range of human-visible color, Rev8 captures a massive increase in environmental data with intuitive visual information. Critically, even when objects exceed the lidar\u2019s detection range, integrated color data continues to provide a rich stream of information, maintaining visual awareness where depth data cannot reach. With structural and color data fused through physics at the silicon level, the system requires no complex calibration, allowing the industry to instantly pair lidar precision with computer vision to power the next era of Physical AI.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are proud to collaborate with Ouster, a company that shares our commitment to innovation, on its new Rev8 sensors. This partnership represents an important step in extending our image quality expertise to new 3D depth sensing domains and supporting the development of next-generation perception systems,\u201d said Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Guichard, CEO of DXOMARK.<\/p>\n
