Ouster’s Rev8 Lidar Delivers Megapixel Color With Fujifilm’s HDR Filters
Ouster has integrated Fujifilm’s organic color filters and patented L4 silicon into its new Rev8 digital lidar, enabling megapixel-resolution native color data and hardware-enabled HDR. The Rev8 unifies color and depth on a single ASIC, eliminating sensor fusion drift and simplifying perception stacks for mapping, robotics, and AI training.
1. Collaboration Enables Native Color Lidar
Ouster partnered with Fujifilm to embed its organic color filters and Wave Control Mosaic materials at the silicon level of the Rev8 OS lidar. This integration leverages Fujifilm’s semiconductor-grade color science to deliver high-fidelity, consistent color capture alongside active lidar sensing.
2. Unified Sensor Architecture Enhances Data Quality
The Rev8 sensor processes color and depth on a single ASIC with shared timing, optics, and calibration, removing the drift and misalignment of traditional camera-lidar fusion. This architecture produces synchronized, megapixel-resolution colorized point clouds with hardware-enabled HDR capabilities.
3. Simplified Stacks and Broad Applications
By consolidating perception hardware, Rev8 reduces mechanical and electrical integration overhead and cuts calibration development time. Customers in mapping, AI model training, object recognition, and robotics can now generate accurate, colorized 3D environments and more stable long-term operations.
