Automatic and accurate detection of anatomical landmarks is an essential operation in
medical image analysis with a multitude of applications. Recent deep learning methods
have improved results by directly encoding the appearance of the captured anatomy with the
likelihood maps (ie, heatmaps). However, most current solutions overlook another essence
of heatmap regression, the objective metric for regressing target heatmaps and rely on hand-
