I don't have access to your input image, but I suspect what's
happening is that when the image is divided up into 8x8 cells, the top
edges fall on the boundaries of cells, while the bottom ones fall
inside.  If you send me the input image, I can verify, or you can
modify the cell shape to see what happens.
