To improve the conventional illustrated fish book, this paper introduces the concept of an electronic illustrated fish book which applies IT techniques to the conventional one, and proposes the image retrieval for it. The image retrieval is a core technology of the electronic illustrated fish book and make it overwhelm the conventional one. Since fishes, even if the same kind, have different features in shape, color, and texture and the same fish can even have different features by its pose or environment at that time for taking a picture, the conventional image retrieval, that uses simple features in shape, color, and texture, is not suitable for the electronic illustrated fish book. The proposed image retrieval adopts detail shape features extracted from head, body, and tail of a fish and different weights are given to the features depending on their invariability. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is far superior to the conventional algorithm.

As the improvement of computer performance and the development of IT technology have influence upon publishing industry, the e-Book system, a type of electronic resources, has come out. This is a method to use both texts and 2D image illustrations. Nowadays, there are more and more users who want high quality contents and a variety of contents such as the illustrated fish book using the 3D system. This article adds 3D animation objects to the current e-Book system and designs and realizes the 3D fish simulation system to which e-Book technology is applied so as to improve the comprehension of texts and readability of detailed information and increase readers' immersion as well.

In this study, we propose a marine character prototype study for development of a marine character as digital contents. This study is a precedent study to build a marine character database with the production of digital contents based on "Jasan-urbo". "Jasan-urbo" is a representative cultural heritage that can highlight the value of Korean marine culture as the first illustrated book of marine creatures in Korea. Therefore, we examined the use value of "Jasan-urbo" through the content approach and looked at the visualization for character utilization and then designed a marine fish species classification standard model. Finally, this study proposed the possibility of discovering prototype sources for digitalization of Korean marine creature's resources.
