  • Patent number: 12131401
    Abstract: A dual watermarking method for trajectory data based on robust watermarking and fragile watermarking uses an encryption algorithm to construct robust watermark information, and then a farthest pair of feature points in a minimum convex hull of is set as constant points. Further quantization index modulation technology is used to embed robust watermark information into angles constructed from feature points and constant points. Finally, the angles and distance ratios constructed by trajectory points and constant points are used to group trajectory points. Within each group, spatiotemporal attributes of the trajectory points are taken as fragile watermark bits to be embedded in the distance ratios constructed by the trajectory points. A process of watermark detection is consistent with the embedding of watermark information. Watermarks embedded in the trajectory data based on the dual watermarking method have high robustness against translation, rotation, and scaling attacks.
