Scale is committed to accelerating the development of AI applications and

serving customers with high-speed, accurate, and affordable data annotation.

As part of this mission, Scale and Ouster are pleased to announce a data

integration partnership that makes it significantly easier and faster for

Ouster customers to send their LiDAR data to the Scale platform for

annotation.

The two companies have worked together for months to establish a common data

format and labeling process that combines the image-like output from Ouster’s

lidar sensors and the industry-leading capabilities of Scale’s Sensor Fusion

annotation (annotation for LiDAR and RADAR) and Semantic Segmentation

annotation solutions to save perception teams time and work. The new approach

removes some of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of data labeling

for companies working on everything from autonomous vehicles to industrial

robotics and drones.

The partnership has a number of specific advantages for customers, including:

• Streamlined data transfer - A standardized, efficient data
• format reduces the amount of work customers must perform prior to sending
• data for annotation.
• No sensor fusion required - Ouster’s lidar sensor outputs
• 2D camera-like imagery in addition to 3D data, reducing the time spent on
• calibrating cameras.
• Automatic 2D Mask Generation - Customers can now send a
• single image with 2 API calls to Scale and receive both 2D instance and
• semantic segmentation masks and 3D bounding boxes.
•

Ouster and Scale are leading the industry with this first-of-a-kind

integration. In the coming months, Scale intends to form similar data

integration partnerships with a broad ecosystem of sensor manufacturers to

continue to improve customer experience for LiDAR and RADAR annotation.

These partnerships will reduce the amount of work customers have to put in to

send their data to Scale.AI, to develop a more seamless data pipeline.
