Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present document comprises the steps of: obtaining a flag indicating whether quantization parameter data for combined chroma coding is present on the basis of a type of chroma; obtaining the quantization parameter data for the combined chroma coding on the basis of the flag; deriving a chroma quantization parameter table on the basis of the quantization parameter data; deriving a quantization parameter for the combined chroma coding on the basis of the chroma quantization parameter table; deriving residual samples on the basis of the quantization parameter; and generating a reconstructed picture on the basis of the residual samples.
