According to a ground feature contour extraction method based on a ground laser point cloud provided by the invention, surface-based space measurement breaking through a traditional single-point measurement mode is introduced into urban measurement application, and the urban measurement efficiency is improved. As the most important space entity of a city, the three-dimensional information of ground objects, especially buildings, is the important basic geographic information of the city and has important application value. The whole scanning process is high in data acquisition efficiency, ground control points do not need to be specially arranged, scanning measurement is slightly influenced by the external environment, and the measurement precision is high. Not only is automation degree ofbuilding space data acquisition improved, but also scanned point cloud can express real three-dimensional information and detail structure of a building in detail. Accurate contour information is acquired by means of the point cloud data, and a three-dimensional model of the building is reconstructed. The method has the advantages of high interaction performance, high intelligent degree, high expandability, high extraction speed, high contour extraction precision and the like.
