How it works
Mostly based on PCA a little tutorial on what that means here
Organize pixels according to their first principal component (the direction along which variance is greatest)
Grab a column of pixels at a time, and organize them according to their first principal component
Use the resulting columns one by one in the final result. With each column, check to see if flipping it upside down gives a better match to the previous column.
