Generally i follow the below criteria to select a model
-> Have a look into the literature and have a high level understanding (need to spend a couple of days or weeks also if the problem statement is quite new)
-> Experiment with a few samples to check how it really performs
-> Check if the chosen model can be good fit on the environment that needs to be deployed.

However currently we have a problem where we need to detect very small objects and that to be these objects are almost cluttered with background, i tried to follow the literature but most of the methods mentioned that they are good at small object detection. Would be really great if there are any suggestions on the model selection part on these kind of problem statements. Thanks in advance.
