Save object's boundary as coordinate arrays.

I have traced an image boundary and I need to save it as coordinate arrays. Actually I'm working on thermal image where I first extracted only the red component of the RGB image and then to black and white image then I have done morphological closing on it and obtained object's boundary.Actually I'm confused abt how to get boundary then I found it here and I have to save it in coordinate arrays.Thanks for your help in advance. My code looks like this

a = imread('D:\New folder (5)\New folder (5)\VID-20170522-WA0021 (5-23-2017 3-45-10 PM)\yash.jpg');
a_red=a;
a_green=a;
a_blue=a;
a_red(:,:,2)=0;
a_red(:,:,3)=0;
BW = im2bw(a_red, 0.2);
se=strel('disk',10);
closeBW=imclose(BW,se);
[B,L] = bwboundaries(closeBW,'noholes');
c=label2rgb(L, @jet, [.5 .5 .5]);
imshow(c);
hold on
for k = 1:length(B)
   boundary = B{k};
   plot(boundary(:,2), boundary(:,1), 'w', 'LineWidth', 2)
end

I've attached the thermal image and I need to detect the face.Thanks for ur help in advance.

Hello yaswanth,

As you have not shared how you have traced object boundary, it is a bit difficult to answer you question efficiently.

Anyways, I can tell you a simple approach to do this task.

Convert your image to grayscale and pass it to a high pass filter. This will remove all points except the boundary of object.

Then use

 C=corner(I); %I is modified image

It will store all the corner points in an array C.
