Is here another packages or ways for the localization, without AMCL?

Hello. I'm using ROS kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04.

For the robot localization, I've simply used amcl node so far because it is one of the most common ways.

However, amcl would be improper for some reasons, so I have to adopt another useful localization way.

Hector slam could make corresponding robot pose, I also want to do it with map data; as you know Hector mapping localization does not require pre-obtained map data, unlike amcl.

As far as I know, amcl compares the current laser data and that of the pre-obtained map and guess the sensor's pose.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with this kind of laser scan match localization, so if someone who has ever used laser scan match localization, would you please give me a helpful advice?

Thanks in advance :)
