You need to get a binary image first. If you just have x,y coordinates, like you used convhull, then you need to call poly2mask(). If you have an image of non-convex objects, then you need to call bwconvhull() and it will give you an image of all objects' convex hulls. Then simply call regionprops asking for the centroid.
measurements = regionprops(binaryImage, 'Centroid');
It's a structure array. Each element of measurements is a structure with fields that represent the measurements you asked it to make, like Centroid, area, whatever.

I would give it the benefit of the doubt, but since you brought it up, vert2con and con2vert are not without their bugs. Unfortunately, he no longer actively monitors feedback and hasn't replied to my bug reports, so I've had to make a number of my own fixes to them as the basis for my versions
