Corner-like features are important in computer vision problems such as object matching, tracking, recognition, and retrieval. Most corner detectors operate in the pixel domain, which means that they require image or video to be fully decoded and reconstructed before detection can start. In this paper we describe a method for generating corner proposals from compressed HEVC bitstreams without full decoding. Specifically, we utilize HEVC syntax and intra prediction directions to find the locations that are likely to contain corners. The proposed method is lightweight and can be applied to intra-coded frames or still images coded by HEVC. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed method is able to identify most regions where conventional pixel-domain corner detectors would find corners.
