1. A method of evaluating performance of an image sensor, the method comprising:
obtaining a plurality of test images by imaging a test chart multiple times using a camera device including an image sensor, the test chart including an evaluation area of which brightness changes along a predetermined first direction, wherein the evaluation area is disposed at a center of each of the plurality of test images, and wherein the first direction is a direction of rotation from a predetermined reference axis;
calculating a signal-to-noise ratio depending on a position of the evaluation area in each of the plurality of test images; and
evaluating performance of the image sensor based on the signal-to-noise ratio.
