Extracting information from an object into variables?

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to MATLAB and I wrote the code to detect eyes in an image. I'm using:

corners = detectFASTFeatures(sobel, 'MinContrast', 0.05);

and I need to get the coordinates of the eyes in variables left_x, left_y, right_x and right_y. How should I go about this?

Thanks for reading!

I assume this returns an object of some ilk, though I do not have the necessary toolbox to verify that assertion.

When you don't know how to work with an object of some class, I would first read any help on that class I could find. Surely you will find some.

If you get nowhere on that front however, there are a few tricks to try. The first one I would look to is:

methods(corners)

See what it tells you. What functions are defined? Is there anything that looks useful?

If that fails to prove helpful, try this:

S = struct(corners)

This will extract the information stuffed into the object, into a structure. Do any of those fields seem like they have useful information inside them?
