Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present document comprises the steps of: deriving prediction samples for a first sample and a second sample of the current block on the basis of BDPCM-related information about the current block and neighboring samples of the current block; deriving residual samples for the first sample and the second sample on the basis of a residual coefficient of the first sample and a modified residual coefficient of the second sample; and storing, as the intra prediction mode of the current block, the intra prediction mode in the prediction direction of the current block, which is derived on the basis of a BDPCM direction flag.
