Abstract

An image decoding method according to the present document comprises the steps of: deriving a transform coefficient for a current block on the basis of residual information; deriving a residual sample by applying, to the transform coefficient, at least one of LFNST and MTS; and generating a reconstructed picture on the basis of the residual samples, wherein the LFNST is performed on the basis of an LFNST index indicating an LFNST kernel, the MTS is performed on the basis of an MTS index indicating an MTS kernel, and the LFNST index may be parsed before the MTS index.
