Abstract
A method of evaluating the characteristics of a solid state image sensor measures the unit cell output values of the sensor and assigns the output values to a predetermined rank, and counts the number of unit cells cumulatively in each rank, and then, by regarding the frequency distribution profile of the unit cell output values obtained in such way as the intrinsic electrical characteristics of the sensor, judges the picture quality of the sensor by using this frequency distribution profile.
