Abstract
Crowdsensing relies on truth discovery methods to obtain reliable data. However, existing truth dis-covery methods for Crowd Sensing systems face challenges in effectively evaluating the quality of uploaded image data by workers and defending against attacks by malicious workers. To overcome these issues, we introduce a truth discovery method with the trust-aware self-supervised discrim-inative (SSD) model for visual crowdsensing, namely TASSD. In the TASSD, we incorporate the worker’s trustworthiness in the reweighting mechanism of the SSD model, thereby improving system robustness and reliability. Then, we designed a trust update method to accurately obtain the worker’s trustworthiness. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed TASSD over traditional anomaly detection methods, particularly in scenarios with high ratios of abnormal data. TASSD effectively addresses disguised malicious worker attacks that achieve high credibility.
