This invention relates to a method for reducing dot clouds of 3-D scanning, which carries out grid division to the dot-clouds, and the grid is the smallest exterior square body of a dot-cloud, the side length is L, then divides it into sub-grids with the side length of DalphaL3 / n along the directions of three coordinate axises, and alpha is the dilution ratio decided by the design, n is the dot number of the cloud, then dot set of the neighbour domain of Pi in the adjacent sub-grid of each dot KNB9Pi)={X1, X2apostrophe, Xn} is taken,takes the least square approximation plane of KNB9Pi) as the micro-cut plane S(Pi), takes Pi as the core of KNB(Pi), sets the distance from jth adjacent point of Pi to S(Pi) dj, and the distance to Pi lambdaj, then the function is fj(Pi)=dj / lambdaj, the curvature function of Pi is f(pi)=1 / kSigmafj(Pi) so as to obtain the curvature of every data point Pi, finally acquires the mean curvature in every small grid and gets the difference of the curvature of a point and the mean curvature and points smaller than the needed accuracy are selected as the points of the grid and others are deleted.
