%BLOBBOX Find box around a binary blob and resample
%
%   B = BLOBBOX(A,ny,nx)
%
% INPUT
%   A     MY x MX x N matrix of N binary images of the size MY x MX
%   NX,NY Resampling sizes (optional, default: 16)
%
% OUTPUT
%   B     NY x NX x N matrix of N binary images of the size NY x NX
%
% DEFAULT
% NX = NY = 16.
%
% DESCRIPTION
% For an MY x MX x N set of N binary images A the bounding boxes around
% the blobs are computed and resampled with NX x NY pixels.
