Le système Gyrocam, mis au point par une équipe de l’IREQ, est un système employé pour l’inspection des structures civiles telles les barrages hydroélectriques. [...] il est constitué de deux caméras associées à un gyroscope. La version actuelle du système Gyrocam emploie un gyroscope mécanique. Pour des raisons de fiabilité et de facilité d’entretien, on s’intéresse à remplacer ce gyroscope mécanique par un gyroscope interférométrique à fibre optique (GIFO). 1, record 1, French, - gyroscope%20interf%C3%A9rom%C3%A9trique%20%C3%A0%20fibre%20optique
