Point dense 3D scanning at full frame rate
With the VLS 128, Ouster delivers an established industry staple for long-range spinning lidar. The VLS 128 is an optimal long-range lidar sensor for autonomous mobility where the exceptional combination of range, image clarity and field of view detects roadway objects with reliability and precision. This established sensor generates a high-quality point cloud across all light and weather conditions, with advanced sensor-to-sensor interference mitigation, power efficiency, and thermal performance.
Low Reflectent Object Detection
Providing long-range detection of low reflectance objects such as tire fragments, dark vehicles, asphalt, and pedestrians, the VLS enables autonomous operation within a broad range of settings, including urban and highway environments.




A full lidar sensor suite for Ground Truthing Applications
Combined with Ouster’s suite of short-range sensors such as the OS0 and the OS1, the VLS 128 completes the most accurate and comprehensive ground truthing package in the industry. All VLS 128 long-range digital lidar sensors provide 128 beam, 360° coverage and, as a suite, cover ranges from 0-300+ meters with reduced power draw, lowered EMI emissions, and dependable reliability.
