function [optrefimages] = fringeremoval(absimages, refimages, bgmask)
% FRINGEREMOVAL - Fringe removal and noise reduction from absorption images.
% Creates an optimal reference image for each absorption image in a set as
% a linear combination of reference images, with coefficients chosen to
% minimize the least-squares residuals between each absorption image and
% the optimal reference image. The coefficients are obtained by solving a
% linear set of equations using matrix inverse by LU decomposition.
%
% Application of the algorithm is described in C. F. Ockeloen et al, Improved
% detection of small atom numbers through image processing, arXiv:1007.2136 (2010).
%
% Syntax:
% [optrefimages] = fringeremoval(absimages,refimages,bgmask);
%
% Required inputs:
% absimages - Absorption image data,
% typically 16 bit grayscale images
% refimages - Raw reference image data
% absimages and refimages are both cell arrays containing
% 2D array data. The number of refimages can differ from the
% number of absimages.
%
% Optional inputs:
% bgmask - Array specifying background region used,
% 1=background, 0=data. Defaults to all ones.
% Outputs:
% optrefimages - Cell array of optimal reference images,
% equal in size to absimages.
%
% Dependencies: none
