%
% input: 
%   binimg: a 3D binary image
%   isdiff: if isdiff=1, output will be all voxels which 
%         is different from its neighbors; if isdiff=0 or 
%         ignored, output will be the edge voxels of the 
%         non-zero regions in binimg
%
% output:
%   imgdiff: a 3D logical array with the same size as binimg
%            with 1 for voxels on the boundary and 0 otherwise
