Abstract

A method for encoding image signal, according to the present invention, can: encode a partial block coefficient flag indicating whether a coefficient of a current partial block is a non-zero coefficient; encode a first flag indicating whether an absolute value of the coefficient is greater than 1, encode a second flag indicating whether the absolute value of the coefficient is greater than 2; encode the residual coefficients, which have not been encoded, on the basis of the first flag or the second flag in the current partial block; and encode a code for the coefficient of the current partial block.

1. A method for decoding a video signal, comprising:

receiving a bitstream including encoding information of a transform block, the encoding information including a flag indicating whether a current coefficient of the transform block is a non-zero coefficient;

entropy-decoding the flag of the current coefficient by considering previous coefficients; and

decoding the transform block based on the entropy-decoded flag,

4. A method for encoding a video signal, comprising:

obtaining encoding information of a transform block by encoding the transform block; and

generating a bitstream including the encoding information of the transform block,

wherein the encoding information includes a flag of a current coefficient in the transform block, the flag indicating whether the current coefficient is a non-zero coefficient,

wherein obtaining the encoding information comprises entropy-encoding the flag by considering previous coefficients,

a data stream stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the data stream comprising encoding information obtained by encoding a transform block,

wherein the encoding information includes a flag indicating whether a current coefficient of the transform block is a non-zero coefficient, and
