Otto H.Schade [1903-1981] was a noted televison pioneer, best known for his work on evaluating the gradation, graininess and sharpnesss in film and television images, and for his aperture theory that mathematically modeled the system performance of photographic lenses, films, television tubes and electrical circuits. Born in Germany, Schade emigrated to the United States in 1926. In 1931 he joined the Radio Corporation of America [RCA] where he worked for the rest of his career. From 1944-1957 he developed a unified theory of image analysis and specification, including practical methods for measuring the optical transfer function and noise in optical, photographic and electronic imaging systems. He received 85 patents and numerous awards. Good .
