Although the Crowd-Sensing perception system brings great data value to people through the release and analysis of high-dimensional perception data, it causes great hidden danger to the privacy of participants in the meantime. Currently, various privacy protection methods based on differential privacy have been proposed, but most of them cannot simultaneously solve the complex attribute association problem between high-dimensional perception data and the privacy threat problems from untrustworthy servers. To address this problem, we put forward a local privacy protection based on Bayes network for high-dimensional perceptual data in this paper. This mechanism realizes the local data protection of the users at the very beginning, eliminates the possibility of other parties directly accessing the user's original data, and fundamentally protects the user's data privacy. During this process, after receiving the data of the user's local privacy protection, the perception server recognizes the dimensional correlation of the high-dimensional data based on the Bayes network, divides the high-dimensional data attribute set into multiple relatively independent low-dimensional attribute sets, and then sequentially synthesizes the new dataset. It can effectively retain the attribute dimension correlation of the original perception data, and ensure that the synthetic dataset and the original dataset have as similar statistical characteristics as possible. To verify its effectiveness, we conduct a multitude of simulation experiments. Results have shown that the synthetic data of this mechanism under the effective local privacy protection has relatively high data utility.
