TorchCAM is a Python library that extracts class activation maps (CAMs) from PyTorch CNN classifiers, supporting many CAM variants such as Grad-CAM, Score-CAM, Layer-CAM, and more. It offers a minimal hook-based API for visualizing which spatial features influence a model's classification outputs.

Use cases

  • visualize which image regions a CNN classifier focuses on
  • debug surprising model predictions with saliency maps
  • compare Grad-CAM, Score-CAM, and other CAM methods on a PyTorch model
  • explain classification outputs for a pretrained ResNet
  • research and prototype new class activation map techniques
  • generate activation map overlays for model interpretability reports

When to avoid

  • you need interpretability for transformers or non-CNN architectures
  • you work in TensorFlow, JAX, or another non-PyTorch framework
  • you need production-grade model explanation pipelines rather than exploratory visualization
