Abstract

An image decoding method according to the present document can comprise the steps of: receiving flag information indicating whether a matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) is used with respect to a current block; receiving matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) mode information on the basis of the flag information; generating an intra prediction sample for the current block on the basis of the MIP mode information; and generating restoration samples for the current block on the basis of the intra prediction samples.
