Provided is a universal right-angle geometric scalar field reconstruction method. The method comprises the steps that 1, an orthogonal basis function is determined according to the primary function type and order needed by a user; 2, a to-be-solved continuous cylindrical geometric scalar field is approximatively expanded according to the orthogonal basis function obtained in the step 1; 3, an underdetermined linear algebraic equation system about an underdetermined coefficient is set up through all known information; 4, on the basis of variable substitution, a least square method is used for solving the underdetermined linear algebraic equation system, the least square solution of the underdetermined linear algebraic equation system is obtained to serve as a scalar field expansion coefficient, the scalar field expansion coefficient is substituted into a scalar field expansion equation, and a continuous scalar field can be obtained; 5, according to the obtained continuous scalar field, designated discrete information of the scalar field is obtained through further discretizing; the undetermined scalar field is expanded through the orthogonal basis function, an expansion function is constructed through variants and orders, the least square method is used for solving, the influence of selection of an expansion basis function on reconstruction precision is effectively reduced, the requirement for the reconstruction condition number is reduced, meanwhile multiple kinds of discrete information can be processed, and the adaptability of the method to different problems is effectively improved.
