PointCloud-ID: Deterministic Cross-Format Identity and Attribute-Aware Integrity Verification for Geospatial Point Clouds
This paper presents PointCloud-ID, a deterministic framework that establishes stable identity and enables spatially localized integrity verification for geospatial point clouds by canonicalizing data under versioned profiles and constructing attribute-partitioned Merkle trees, thereby distinguishing content-preserving re-encodings from actual modifications.
