Location privacy protection method based on lightweight K-anonymity incremental nearest neighbor algorithm by Saite CHEN, Weihai LI, Yuanzhi YAO, Nenghai YU

“…The use of location-based service brings convenience to people’s daily lives, but it also raises concerns about users’ location privacy.In the k-nearest neighbor query problem, constructing K-anonymizing spatial regions is a method used to protects users’ location privacy, but it results in a large waste of communication overhead.The SpaceTwist scheme is an alternative method that uses an anchor point instead of the real location to complete the k-nearest neighbor query,which is simple to implement and has less waste of communication overhead.However,it cannot guarantee K-anonymous security, and the specific selection method of the anchor point is not provided.To address these shortcomings in SpaceTwist, some schemes calculate the user’s K-anonymity group by introducing a trusted anonymous server or using the way of user collaboration, and then enhance the end condition of the query algorithm to achieve K-anonymity security.Other schemes propose the anchor point optimization method based on the approximate distribution of interest points, which can further reduce the average communication overhead.A lightweight K-anonymity incremental nearest neighbor (LKINN) location privacy protection algorithm was proposed to improve SpaceTwist.LKINN used convex hull mathematical tool to calculate the key points of K-anonymity group, and proposed an anchor selection method based on it, achieving K-anonymity security with low computational and communication costs.LKINN was based on a hybrid location privacy protection architecture, making only semi-trusted security assumptions for all members of the system, which had lax security assumptions compared to some existing research schemes.Simulation results show that LKINN can prevent semi-trusted users from stealing the location privacy of normal users and has smaller query response time and communication overhead compare to some existing schemes.…”

A Novel Two-Stage Learning-Based Phase Unwrapping Algorithm via Multimodel Fusion by Chao Yan, Tao Li, Yandong Gao, Shijin Li, Xiang Zhang, Xuefei Zhang, Di Zhang, Huiqin Liu

“…To solve this problem, this paper combines a deep neural network model with the traditional PhU model and proposes a novel two-stage learning-based phase unwrapping (TLPU) algorithm via multimodel fusion. The major advantages of TLPU are as follows: 1) A high-resolution U-Net (HRU-Net) model trained on a dataset constructed according to InSAR interferometric geometry is utilized for the PhU for the first time, which effectively improves the performance of the DLPU. 2) TLPU utilizes the traditional PhU method to optimize the results of DLPU, addressing the issue of weak generalization ability of a single DLPU, while improving accuracy in areas with large-gradient changes. …”
