What does that mean? Why would your images have a bias? Do you mean just the average intensity? Or do you mean that the intensity has a bias higher or lower than the "true" intensity by some amount? Does what you call bias vary from pixel to pixel or is it the same for every pixel in the image?

reference 33.pdf

Retinal images are plagued by imaging artifacts. The most common among them is the introduction of illumination bias in CFI due to the spherical nature of the retina. This is also known as bias field.Since the green channel of CFI provides maximum contrast for distinguishing between structures and lesions, the bias field estimation and removal is done in the green channel.

This is said about bias field in one of my reference papers. I will attach the reference paper

It looks like what is normally called "background correction". For most image modalities, that is accomplished by getting a smooth background image and dividing the test image by it. For some situations (radiography, fluorescence) you do background subtraction instead of background division. To get the background, it looks like they just blurred the green channel enough to get rid of vessels. You can do this with conv2() or imfilter().
