Laser scan matching is a foundation for navigation, localization and mapping using Light Detection and Ranging(LiDAR). Various laser scan matching methods are reviewed in detail in this paper. The existing methods are divided into three categories: point-based scan matching method, feature-based scan matching method and mathematical property-based scan matching method, and the common algorithms of corresponding categories are summarized systematically. The typical algorithms and their improved algorithms are outlined, the main issues and development trends are discussed. Then, the latest research progress of performance evaluation and comparison of laser scan matching methods is introduced. Finally, the future research directions of laser scan matching technology are prospected.
