AI summary

Disclosed are a transform method based on block information and an apparatus using the method. An image-decoding method comprises: a step of taking information on a block as an input; and a transform method determination step of determining an inverse transform method for the block on the basis of whether or not the prediction mode of the block is an intra-prediction mode, whether or not the size of the block satisfies a predetermined condition, and whether or not the block is a block for a luminance sample. Accordingly, encoding efficiency can be improved by using an appropriate transform method on the basis of the information on a prediction block and an intra-prediction mode.
