VLP 16 Puck is the compact spinning lidar inherited by Ouster from Velodyne for robotics, mapping, drones and lower-speed autonomous vehicles. The current VLP 16 configuration provides 360-degree horizontal and 40-degree vertical coverage, up to 200 m range and about 600,000 points per second.
About
VLP 16 Puck is a compact 905 nm rotating lidar that produces a 360-degree point cloud for robot perception, mapping, infrastructure monitoring and autonomous-vehicle navigation. Ouster continues the former Velodyne product line with dual returns and a 16-channel configuration reaching about 600,000 points per second.
VLP-16 provides a 40-degree vertical field of view, up to 200 m range, ±3 cm accuracy and a maximum 20 Hz frame rate. The sensor body is 72 mm high by 89 mm wide and can weigh about 590 g without cabling and interface boxes, supporting drone and space-constrained mobile-platform installations.
