Its through the ICP (iterative closest point) scan matching technique. Read [here].(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterative_closest_point)

Thank you for your reply. If loop closure is found, will all historical pose be recalculated? I want to get recalculated pose data. Is there a good method to do that?

gmappinp Parameter resampleThreshold handles this.

~resampleThreshold (float, default: 0.5) The Neff based resampling threshold

Neff drops in case of loop closures.

gmapping does resampling based on Neff threshold in case of loop closure.
