Abstract: A tracking system includes a first device and a second device. The first device includes plural ultrasonic sources and an inertial measurement unit configured to detect inertial data. The second device includes at least one ultrasonic receiver and a processor. The processor is configured to receive the inertial data, estimate an orientation of the first device according to the received inertial data, determine a first ultrasonic transmitter from the ultrasonic transmitters according to the orientation of the first device and a location of the first device, and send an enablement command about the first ultrasonic transmitter to the first device. The enabled transmitter of the ultrasonic transmitters sends ultrasounds according to the enablement command, the at least one ultrasonic receiver is configured to receive the ultrasounds from the first ultrasonic transmitter, and the processor determines the location of the first device according to the received ultrasounds.

Abstract: A tracking system and a method thereof are provided in this disclosure. The tracking method includes steps of: capturing first images of the physical environment by a first electronic device; extracting a plurality of first feature points from the first images; generating a plurality of map points according to the extracted first feature points; building a map of the physical environment according to the map points by the first electronic device; capturing a second image of the physical environment by a second electronic device; extracting second feature points of the second image and transmitting the second feature points to the first electronic device; and estimating a pose of the second electronic device according to the map and the received second feature points by the first electronic device.
