function [A, vA, vB, bb_rel] = crop_borders(A, bcol, padding, crop_amounts)
%CROP_BORDERS Crop the borders of an image or stack of images
%
%   [B, vA, vB, bb_rel] = crop_borders(A, bcol, [padding])
%
%IN:
%   A - HxWxCxN stack of images.
%   bcol - Cx1 background colour vector.
%   padding - scalar indicating how much padding to have in relation to
%             the cropped-image-size (0<=padding<=1). Default: 0
%   crop_amounts - 4-element vector of crop amounts: [top,right,bottom,left]
%             where NaN/Inf indicate auto-cropping, 0 means no cropping,
%             and any other value mean cropping in pixel amounts.
%
%OUT:
%   B - JxKxCxN cropped stack of images.
%   vA     - coordinates in A that contain the cropped image
%   vB     - coordinates in B where the cropped version of A is placed
%   bb_rel - relative bounding box (used for eps-cropping)
