摘要
Generalizing deepfake detection across facial manipulation and fully generated video remains challenging due to forgery traces varying with the manipulation method and scene content. Explicit spatial and temporal feature differences offer a way to capture this variation, but also respond to natural texture and motion, motivating their joint interpretation with appearance features. We investigate whether combining multiscale feature differences with adapted appearance representations improves detection across both forgery categories. We introduce Multiscale Appearance-Residual Streams (MARS), a two-path video detector. The residual path applies fixed spatial and temporal difference-of-Gaussians operators to frozen intermediate features and models the resulting differences alongside appearance context across frames. The semantic path adapts the encoder's normalization parameters for frame classification, and a clip-dependent gate combines their predictions. Under a shared protocol across seven datasets, MARS achieves the highest average AUROC of 91.43\%, outperforming seven compared detectors. When trained on facial manipulations alone, MARS achieves 93.99\% AUROC on GenVideo and 75.50\% on DF26, demonstrating transfer to generated videos without generated-video training data. MARS also provides signed patch and frame contributions, whose faithfulness we evaluate through controlled spatial and temporal removal against random controls.
