A comparison of obfuscation methods used for privacy protection: Exploring the challenges of polygon data in agricultural research

Abstract: A major challenge of sharing spatially explicit agricultural and agri‐environmental data is to identify the trade‐off between field parcel confidentiality and spatial pattern preservation. In this work, 27 point‐based obfuscation and evaluation methods were applied on agricultural data, collected by the Irish Nutrient Management Planning Online (NMP Online) platform, which is a high‐density polygon dataset developed to inform precision agriculture through nutrient management based on soil fertility and agronom… Show more

“…Several anonymization and randomization techniques on the centroid of field parcels were developed and tested in. 5 The performance of 27 point-based obfuscation methods were evaluated on the subset of the Irish Nutrient Management Planning Online (NMP Online) dataset with high point density and non-uniform distribution. Furthermore, several evaluation methods were tested to measure the ability of each method to satisfy both privacy concerns and spatial pattern preservation.…”

“…Donut-k and Density-k are point-based qualitative techniques that were designed to maximize the geoprivacy protection and spatial pattern preservation by generating the smallest obfuscation area as far as possible (Nowbakht et al, 2022). It is important to bear in mind that when the spatial data are represented as polygons then the k-anonymity satisfaction means that the obfuscation area contains at least k − 1 other polygons such that the original polygon is unidentifiable among them.…”

“…The optimal value of k1 and k2 can be considered when the growth of radii are significantly large. This process was suggested by Nowbakht et al (2022) to provide higher levels of geoprivacy and spatial pattern preservation for point-based objects.…”
