Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for coding/decoding an image. The method for decoding the image comprises the steps of: deriving a scale factor of a current block, depending on whether the current block is a conversion skip block; and scaling the current block on the basis of the scale factor, wherein the scale factor of the current block is derived on the basis of the position of a conversion coefficient inside the current block, and wherein the conversion skip block is the current block to which conversion is not applied and is specified on the basis of information indicating whether to apply reconversion to the current block.

deriving a scale factor for a current block depending on whether or not the current block is a transform skip block;

performing scaling on transform coefficients of the current block based on the scale factor;

signaled through a Picture Parameter Set (PPS).

6. An image encoding method with an encoding apparatus, comprising:

performing prediction for a current block to generate a prediction block;
