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 study, the main drawback of point-based obfuscation was identified and the polygon-based obfuscation methods were designed and developed to overcome these issues.
