That is not surprising -- there are a variety of image processing algorithms that work on a basis something like that, e.g., algorithms to improve focus / sharpness. I don't have any idea how you might sort of "back caculate" to figure out which algorithm or combination of algorithms might have been applied, but I suppose there might be a way to do that.
