wherein the encoding parameter includes at least one of a prediction mode, the motion information, or a size of the current block.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform type is determined based on information which is explicitly signaled from an encoding device and a table which is pre-defined in a decoding device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transform type is implicitly derived based on at least one of a size, a shape, an intra prediction mode, or a component type of the current block.

9. An image encoding method, comprising:

generating a prediction block of a current block based on a pre-defined prediction mode;
