You could try a high-pass filter in the fourier domain?
Or try fitting a 2d gaussian by brute-force - or 2d-gaussian plus
spots. Is there a reason to believe that the background is gaussian
or was that just suggested because it is "smooth"? If it's the
latter, then I would try the fourier filtering...
