Ouster Sensor SDK

The Ouster Sensor SDK provides developers interfaces for interacting with sensor hardware and recorded sensor data suitable for prototyping, evaluation, and other non-safety-critical applications in Python and C++. Example and reference code is provided for common operations on sensor data in both languages. The SDK includes APIs for:

• Querying and setting sensor configuration

• Recording and reading data in pcap format

• Recording and reading data in Open Sensor Format (OSF)

• Reading and buffering sensor UDP data streams reliably

• Conversion of raw data to range/signal/near_ir/reflectivity images (destaggering)

• Efficient projection of range measurements to Cartesian (x, y, z) coordinates

• Visualization of multi-beam flash lidar data

Additionally, in Python, the SDK also provides:

• Frame-based access to lidar data as numpy datatypes

• A responsive visualizer utility for pcap and sensor

Supported Platforms

Pre-built binaries are provided on PyPI for the following platforms:

• Most glibc-based Linux distributions on x86_64 and ARM64 platforms (manylinux2010_x86_64, manylinux_2_28_aarch64)

• macOS >= 11.7.10 on x86_64 platforms (macosx_11_7_10_x86_64)

• macOS >= 11.7.10 on Apple M1 for Python >= 3.8 (macosx_11_7_10_arm64)

• Windows 10 on x86_64 platforms (win_amd64)

Building from source is supported on:

• Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, and Debian 11 (x86-64, aarch64)

• macOS >= 11.7.10 (arm64, x86-64)

• Windows 10 (x86-64)

The Ouster SDK drops languages and platforms as they exit their standard support cycle. Please follow our Lifecycle Policy page to understand when support for a Python version, C++ compiler, Operating System, or Sensor FW may dropped from support.
