Abstract

An image decoding method according to the present document may comprise the steps of: if a current block is partitioned into sub-partition transform blocks, deriving a prediction sample of the current block on the basis of intra prediction mode information; determining an LFNST set including LFNST matrices on the basis of an intra prediction mode derived from the intra prediction mode information; selecting one of the LFNST matrices on the basis of the LFNST set and the LFNST index; deriving transform coefficients for the sub-partition transform blocks on the basis of the selected LFNST matrix; and deriving residual samples for the current block on the basis of the transform coefficients.
