Cover Story: Skin detection plays a crucial role in computer vision with numerous applications such as gesture analysis, body tracking, and facial recognition. However, a lack of standardization in testing datasets and protocol has made it difficult to compare and evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches. This article aims to address the issue with a literature review and comparative study of skin detection techniques using various datasets. A new ensemble of neural networks and transformers is also proposed, achieving state-of-the-art performance. The main contribution of this work is to provide researchers and practitioners with a fair comparison of skin detection methods and a standardized testing protocol for evaluating future work in this field.
