Abstract

An image decoding method, which is performed by a decoding device according to the present document, is characterized by including: a step for receiving a bitstream including residual information about the current block; a step for deriving a maximum value of the number of context-encoding bins for context syntax elements coded on the basis of context included in the residual information; a step for entropy-decoding the context syntax elements on the basis of the maximum value; a step for deriving conversion coefficients for the current block on the basis of the entropy-decoded context syntax elements; a step for deriving a residual sample for the current block on the basis of the conversion coefficients; and a step for generating a reconstructed picture on the basis of the residual sample for the current block.
