High-definition (HD) maps serve as crucial infrastructure for autonomous driving technology, facilitating vehicles in positioning, environmental perception, and motion planning without being affected by weather changes or sensor-visibility limitations. Maintaining precision and freshness in HD maps is paramount, as delayed or inaccurate information can significantly impact the safety of autonomous vehicles. Utilizing crowdsourced data for HD map updating is widely recognized as a superior method for preserving map accuracy and freshness. Although it has garnered considerable attention from researchers, there remains a lack of comprehensive exploration into the entire process of updating HD maps through crowdsourcing. For this reason, it is imperative to review and discuss crowdsourcing techniques. This paper aims to provide an overview of the overall process of crowdsourced updates, followed by a detailed examination and comparison of existing methodologies concerning the key techniques of data collection, information extraction, and change detection. Finally, this paper addresses the challenges encountered in crowdsourced updates for HD maps.
