The invention discloses a systematic geometric demarcation method for reflection three-dimensional measurement of a stripe, and relates to systematic geometric demarcation during the three-dimensional appearance measurement of an object with a mirror reflection characteristic. As a stripe display device appears in a viewing field range of a video camera indirectly, the conventional systematic geometric demarcation process is fulfilled by adopting a method of sticking a marking point on a plane mirror.
