Abstract

An image decoding method performed by a decoding device, according to the present document, comprises the steps of: deriving a chroma quantization parameter table on the basis of quantization parameter data; deriving a quantization parameter for combined chroma coding on the basis of the chroma quantization parameter table; deriving prediction samples of a current chroma block on the basis of prediction information; deriving transform coefficients of the current chroma block on the basis of residual information; deriving residual samples by dequantizing the transform coefficients on the basis of the quantization parameter; and generating a reconstructed picture on the basis of the prediction samples and the residual samples.
