Convert Pixel Values Back to Matrix Indices?

I am taking a matrix of 1s and 0s and turning it into a binary image so that I can measure properties of the image using matlab's 'regionprops' function. I am getting the centroid and Major/Minor axis values of the binary image but those are all in terms of number of pixels. Is there a way to convert those values back to indices/matrix notation?

Hum, a binary image is a matrix of 1s and 0s. There is nothing to do turn one into the other.
regionprops returns its output as (x, y) where x is the column index of your matrix, and y is the row index of your matrix. So all you have to do to convert regionprops output into matrix index is swap the two columns.

The output for regionprops centroid is (x, y) in pixels from my understanding because I am getting decimal values for the centroid. For example, one centroid calculated is (24.21, 32), which is not an integer value? I was just thrown off with decimal outputs, leading me to believe the centroid and Major/Minor AxisLength functions have values of pixels and not indices.
