In this paper, total optical color modulator (TOCM) digital color photography is presented. TOCM has the character of
multi-wave superposed in spatial domain and separated in frequency domain. If TOCM is close-contacted with the image
plane of a black-and-white (B&W) CCD, the encoding B&W CCD is formed. Image from the encoding B&W CCD are
digital encoded by the TOCM. The decoded color image can be obtained by computer program. The program includes
four main steps. The first step is Fourier transforming of the encoded image. The second step is filtering the spectra of
the first and zero order in frequency domain. The third is inverse Fourier transforming of the filtered spectra. The last is
melting the image with zero order. Then the digital color image will be shown on the display of the computer. The
experiment proves that this technique is feasible. The principle of encoding color information in B&W image can be
applied to color-blind sensors to get digital color image. Furthermore, it can be applied to digital multi-spectra color
photography.
