As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly employed across various industries, the demand for robust and accurate detection has become crucial. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has developed as a vital sensor technology due to its ability to provide rich 3D spatial information, particularly in applications such as security and airspace monitoring. This review systematically explores recent innovations in LiDAR-based drone detection, deeply focusing on the principles and components of LiDAR sensors, their classifications based on different parameters and scanning mechanisms, and the approaches for processing LiDAR data. The review briefly compares recent research works in LiDAR-based only and its fusion with other sensor modalities, the real-world applications of LiDAR with deep learning, as well as the major challenges in sensor fusion-based UAV detection.
