Sounds like this could be a seam-carving or patch-match algorithm in play. These are used to resize images without distortion. A research video called "Image

  There's an even better version that works with video: http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/site/seam-video.asp http://www.faculty.idc.ac.il/arik/site/seam-video.asp

  Hmm I remember seeing that video before. Extremely clever technology.

  The image cannot be the result of seam-carving because SC does not result in duplicated patches of the region. Moreover, the patching up (as others mentioned, to remove the scores) results in both non-zero offset both horizontally and vertically, which will not happen if you run SC (you'd expect either horizontal or vertical movements).
