• Abstract: Accurate estimation of left ventricular (LV) orientation is essential for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and downstream analysis. Existing methods typically formulate orientation recognition as discrete view classification or rely on multi-slice geometric intersection, limiting their ability to model continuous 3D orientation and generalize across arbitrary slices. This work introduces a novel paradigm: Joint LV localization and 3D orientation estimation from a single CMR slice. To investigate this setting, representative orientation-aware detection frameworks are adapted to the CMR domain, and their limitations are analyzed. Upon that, we propose the Polar-Coupled Circular (PCC) embedding that provides a continuous and unambiguous orientation representation to address the limitations. Meanwhile, a scalable benchmark is constructed through automatic slice sampling from volumetric CMR segmentation datasets. Extensive experiments on four datasets demonstrate strong performance, achieving an average mIoU of 86.18% and an average angle deviation of 3.39°. This study establishes a new task setting for single-slice LV orientation modeling and provides a geometry-consistent framework for spatially informed CMR analysis.

  This paper presents a new approach to boost a single-modality (LiDAR) 3D object detector by teaching it to simulate features and responses that follow a multi-modality (LiDAR-image) detector. The approach needs LiDAR-image data only when training the single-modality detector, and once well-trained, it only needs LiDAR data at inference. Experimental results on the nuScenes dataset show that our approach outperforms all SOTA LiDAR-only 3D detectors.
