The different spatial distribution forms of rock mass structural planes create weak zones in the rock mass, which is also a key factor in controlling rock mass stability. Accurately and efficiently identifying rock mass structural planes and obtaining their dominant orientations is critical for rock mass engineering design and construction. Traditional surveying methods for high and steep rock mass structural planes pose high safety risks, offer limited data, and make comprehensive statistical analysis difficult. This paper utilizes complex rock mass surface 3D point cloud data obtained through 3D laser scanning technology and uses the Hough space transform method to calculate the normal vectors of the 3D point cloud. Based on the difference in normal vectors and surface variation, region growing segmentation is applied to identify and extract rock mass structural planes. Additionally, the fast search and density peak clustering method (CFSFDP) is used for clustering analysis of the rock mass structural planes to obtain dominant orientations. This method was applied to a highway’s high and steep rock slope, successfully identifying 281 structural planes and two sets of dominant structural planes. The orientation of the dominant structural planes identified through RocScience Dips 7.0 analysis showed a deviation of no more than ±3°, complying with engineering standards. The research results offer a feasible solution for the identification of high and steep rock mass structural planes and the extraction of the orientation of dominant structural planes.
