%----------------------------------------------------------------------
% --- substract background to the images: rank the images by luminosity at each point and substracts to the images
%----------------------------------------------------------------------
% Method: 
    %calculate the background image by sorting the luminosity of each point
    % over a sliding sub-sequence of 'nbaver_ima' images. 
    % The luminosity value of rank 'rank' is selected as the
    % 'background'. rank=nbimages/2 gives the median value.  Smaller values are appropriate
    % for a dense set of particles. The extrem value rank=1 gives the true minimum
    % luminosity, but it can be polluted by noise. 
% Organization of image indices:
    % The program is working on a series of images, labelled by two indices i and j, given 
    % by the input matlab vectors num_i1 and num_j1 respectively. In the list, j is the fastest increasing index.
    % The processing can be done in slices (number nbslice), with bursts of
    % nbfield2 successive images for a given slice (mode 'multilevel')
    % In the mode 'volume', nbfield2=1 (1 image at each level), and
    % nbslice=
%INPUT:
% num_i1: matrix of image indices i
% num_j1: matrix of image indices j, must be the same size as num_i1
% num_i2 and num_j2: not used for a function acting on images
% Series: matlab structure containing parameters, as defined by the interface UVMAT/series
%       Series.RootPath: path to the image series
%       Series.RootFile: root file name
%       Series.FileExt: image file extension 
%       Series.NomType: nomenclature type for file indexing
%       Series.NbSlice: %number of slices defined on the interface
