%'sub_background': substract a sliding background to an image series
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
% 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, 
    % In the mode 'volume', nbfield2=1 (1 image at each level)and NbSlice (=nbfield_j)
    % Else nbfield2=nbfield_j =nbre of images in a burst (j index)
