Rev8 black

The Drone Mapping Summit

Spend 90 minutes with the team behind Rev8. Discover the innovations reshaping lidar mapping, learn how to get the most from the OS1 Max in a hands-on drone mapping masterclass, and hear industry leaders from GeoCue, Seneca, and Flyability share where the field is going.

LIVE WEBINAR · REV8 OS1 MAX

Ouster is bringing native color, survey-grade lidar to drone mapping with the Rev8 OS1 Max. In this live session, our team and our customers show what the sensor makes possible, how to get the most out of it, and where the industry is going next. Whether you build mapping payloads, fly them, or process the data, you'll leave with practical ways to sharpen your point clouds, speed up your workflow, and grow your place in the field. Registration is free, and every registrant gets the recording, even if you can't join live. Register below to attend.

Agenda

01 · Rev8 Innovations Showcase (20 min)

What's new with Rev8 and why it matters for mapping: native color, precision, range, and the compact OS1 Max form factor. A fast tour of the capabilities behind Ouster's newest line of sensors.

02 · Masterclass: Get the Most from OS1 Max (20 min)

A hands-on walkthrough of the full workflow. Start with the firmware settings that let you collect data the best possible way. Use Ouster Studio to get ready-to-use drone datasets for testing and evaluation. Then use the Ouster SDK to turn raw captures into clean, colorized maps with simple, easy-to-use CLI commands. You'll leave with a ton of practical tips you can use on your next flight.

  1. Firmware settings for the best possible capture
  2. Ready-to-use drone datasets in Ouster Studio, for testing and evaluation
  3. Raw captures to colorized maps with the Ouster SDK, in a few CLI commands

03 · Panel: The Future of Drone Mapping (50 min: 30 discussion, 20 live Q&A)

Where the industry is heading, the hard problems, the innovation reshaping the field, how policy and geopolitics move the market, and how to build a career in it.

What you'll walk away with

  1. The Rev8 OS1 Max capabilities that matter for mapping, in one place.
  2. A repeatable capture-to-map workflow: firmware settings, Ouster Studio datasets, and SDK CLI commands for colorized maps.
  3. Ready-to-use OS1 Max sample datasets to download and test.
  4. A clear view of where the industry is heading, the challenges, the innovations, and how policy shapes the market.
  5. Career guidance to grow your place in drone mapping.
  6. Answers to your own questions in live Q&A.
