The invention provides a tailing pond dry beach important parameter extraction method and system based on three-dimensional laser point clouds, and the method comprises the steps: 1, carrying out the range division, voxel down-sampling, filtering and denoising preprocessing of tailing pond three-dimensional laser point cloud data; 2, establishing a multi-dimensional feature model combining spatial features and laser reflectivity features, and proposing a dam body, dry beach and water surface boundary segmentation method based on Z gradient; 3, proposing a dry beach extraction model based on point cloud reflection intensity segmentation; 4, for the point cloud after dry beach segmentation, providing a dam body candidate set segmentation method based on linearity, establishing a main and auxiliary dam extraction model based on connectivity, and obtaining a dam body analytical equation; and 5, providing a point cloud-based dry beach parameter calculation method, setting calculation parameters along the main dam and the auxiliary dam, and calculating the length and gradient of the dry beach. The method and system have the advantages of low cost, high accuracy, wide range and the like, and can provide important basis for analysis and pre-arranged planning of safety accidents such as tailing pond dam break and the like.
