Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE 
     Field of the Disclosure 
     The present disclosure relates to an image coding technique and, more particularly, to an image coding method and an apparatus therefor, in coding residual data according to TSRC of a current block in an image coding system, in the case that all maximum available context-coded bins for the current block are used, for coding the subsequent residual data according to a simplified residual data coding structure. 
     Related Art 
     Recently, demand for high-resolution, high-quality images, such as High Definition (HD) images and Ultra High Definition (UHD) images, has been increasing in various fields. As the image data has high resolution and high quality, the amount of information or bits to be transmitted increases relative to the legacy image data. Therefore, when image data is transmitted using a medium such as a conventional wired/wireless broadband line or image data is stored using an existing storage medium, the transmission cost and the storage cost thereof are increased. 
     Accordingly, there is a need for a highly efficient image compression technique for effectively transmitting, storing, and reproducing information of high-resolution and high-quality images. 
     SUMMARY

     Present disclosure relates to video/image coding.

H.267 or H.268, etc.). 
     Present disclosure presents various embodiments of video/image coding, and the embodiments may be performed in combination with each other unless otherwise mentioned. 
     In the present disclosure, video may refer to a series of images over time. Picture generally refers to a unit representing one image in a specific time zone, and a subpicture/slice/tile is a unit constituting part of a picture in coding. The subpicture/slice/tile may include one or more coding tree units (CTUs). One picture may consist of one or more subpictures/slices/tiles. One picture may consist of one or more tile groups. One tile group may include one or more tiles. A brick may represent a rectangular region of CTU rows within a tile in a picture. A tile may be partitioned into multiple bricks, each of which consisting of one or more CTU rows within the tile. A tile that is not partitioned into multiple bricks may be also referred to as a brick. A brick scan is a specific sequential ordering of CTUs partitioning a picture in which the CTUs are ordered consecutively in CTU raster scan in a brick, bricks within a tile are ordered consecutively in a raster scan of the bricks of the tile, and tiles in a picture are ordered consecutively in a raster scan of the tiles of the picture. In addition, a subpicture may represent a rectangular region of one or more slices within a picture. That is, a subpicture contains one or more slices that collectively cover a rectangular region of a picture. A tile is a rectangular region of CTUs within a particular tile column and a particular tile row in a picture. The tile column is a rectangular region of CTUs having a height equal to the height of the picture and a width specified by syntax elements in the picture parameter set. The tile row is a rectangular region of CTUs having a height specified by syntax elements in the picture parameter set and a width equal to the width of the picture. A tile scan is a specific sequential ordering of CTUs partitioning a picture in which the CTUs are ordered consecutively in CTU raster scan in a tile whereas tiles in a picture are ordered consecutively in a raster scan of the tiles of the picture. A slice includes an integer number of bricks of a picture that may be exclusively contained in a single NAL unit. A slice may consist of either a number of complete tiles or only a consecutive sequence of complete bricks of one tile. Tile groups and slices may be used interchangeably in the present disclosure. For example, in the present disclosure, a tile group/tile group header may be called a slice/slice header. 
     A pixel or a pel may mean a smallest unit constituting one picture (or image). Also, ‘sample’ may be used as a term corresponding to a pixel. A sample may generally represent a pixel or a value of a pixel, and may represent only a pixel/pixel value of a luma component or only a pixel/pixel value of a chroma component. 
     A unit may represent a basic unit of image processing. The unit may include at least one of a specific region of the picture and information related to the region. One unit may include one luma block and two chroma (ex. cb, cr) blocks. The unit may be used interchangeably with terms such as block or area in some cases. In a general case, an M×N block may include samples (or sample arrays) or a set (or array) of transform coefficients of M columns and N rows. 
     In the present description, “A or B” may mean “only A”, “only B” or “both A and B”. In other words, in the present specification, “A or B” may be interpreted as “A and/or B”. For example, “A, B or C” herein means “only A”, “only B”, “only C”, or “any and any combination of A, B and C”. 
     A slash (/) or a comma (comma) used in the present description may mean “and/or”. For example, “A/B” may mean “A and/or B”. Accordingly, “A/B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. For example, “A, B, C” may mean “A, B, or C”. 
     In the present description, “at least one of A and B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. In addition, in the present description, the expression “at least one of A or B” or “at least one of A and/or B” may be interpreted the same as “at least one of A and B”. 
     In addition, in the present description, “at least one of A, B and C” means “only A”, “only B”, “only C”, or “any combination of A, B and C”. Also, “at least one of A, B or C” or “at least one of A, B and/or C” may mean “at least one of A, B and C”. 
     In addition, parentheses used in the present description may mean “for example”. Specifically, when “prediction (intra prediction)” is indicated, “intra prediction” may be proposed as an example of “prediction”. In other words, “prediction” in the present description is not limited to “intra prediction”, and “intra prediction” may be proposed as an example of “prediction”. Also, even when “prediction (ie, intra prediction)” is indicated, “intra prediction” may be proposed as an example of “prediction”. 
     In the present description, technical features that are individually described within one drawing may be implemented individually or may be implemented at the same time. 
     The following drawings were created to explain a specific example of the present description. Since the names of specific devices described in the drawings or the names of specific signals/messages/fields are presented by way of example, the technical features of the present description are not limited to the specific names used in the following drawings. 
       FIG. 2  is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a video/image encoding apparatus to which the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure may be applied. Hereinafter, the video encoding apparatus may include an image encoding apparatus. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 , the encoding apparatus  200  includes an image partitioner  210 , a predictor  220 , a residual processor  230 , and an entropy encoder  240 , an adder  250 , a filter  260 , and a memory  270 . The predictor  220  may include an inter predictor  221  and an intra predictor  222 . The residual processor  230  may include a transformer  232 , a quantizer  233 , a dequantizer  234 , and an inverse transformer  235 . The residual processor  230  may further include a subtractor  231 . The adder  250  may be called a reconstructor or a reconstructed block generator. The image partitioner  210 , the predictor  220 , the residual processor  230 , the entropy encoder  240 , the adder  250 , and the filter  260  may be configured by at least one hardware component (ex. An encoder chipset or processor) according to an embodiment. In addition, the memory  270  may include a decoded picture buffer (DPB) or may be configured by a digital storage medium. The hardware component may further include the memory  270  as an internal/external component. 
     The image partitioner  210  may partition an input image (or a picture or a frame) input to the encoding apparatus  200  into one or more processors. For example, the processor may be called a coding unit (CU). In this case, the coding unit may be recursively partitioned according to a quad-tree binary-tree ternary-tree (QTBTTT) structure from a coding tree unit (CTU) or a largest coding unit (LCU). For example, one coding unit may be partitioned into a plurality of coding units of a deeper depth based on a quad tree structure, a binary tree structure, and/or a ternary structure. In this case, for example, the quad tree structure may be applied first and the binary tree structure and/or ternary structure may be applied later. Alternatively, the binary tree structure may be applied first. The coding procedure according to the present disclosure may be performed based on the final coding unit that is no longer partitioned. In this case, the largest coding unit may be used as the final coding unit based on coding efficiency according to image characteristics, or if necessary, the coding unit may be recursively partitioned into coding units of deeper depth and a coding unit having an optimal size may be used as the final coding unit. Here, the coding procedure may include a procedure of prediction, transform, and reconstruction, which will be described later. As another example, the processor may further include a prediction unit (PU) or a transform unit (TU). In this case, the prediction unit and the transform unit may be split or partitioned from the aforementioned final coding unit. The prediction unit may be a unit of sample prediction, and the transform unit may be a unit for deriving a transform coefficient and/or a unit for deriving a residual signal from the transform coefficient. 
     The unit may be used interchangeably with terms such as block or area in some cases. In a general case, an M×N block may represent a set of samples or transform coefficients composed of M columns and N rows. A sample may generally represent a pixel or a value of a pixel, may represent only a pixel/pixel value of a luma component or represent only a pixel/pixel value of a chroma component. A sample may be used as a term corresponding to one picture (or image) for a pixel or a pel. 
     In the encoding apparatus  200 , a prediction signal (predicted block, prediction sample array) output from the inter predictor  221  or the intra predictor  222  is subtracted from an input image signal (original block, original sample array) to generate a residual signal residual block, residual sample array), and the generated residual signal is transmitted to the transformer  232 . In this case, as shown, a unit for subtracting a prediction signal (predicted block, prediction sample array) from the input image signal (original block, original sample array) in the encoder  200  may be called a subtractor  231 . The predictor may perform prediction on a block to be processed (hereinafter, referred to as a current block) and generate a predicted block including prediction samples for the current block. The predictor may determine whether intra prediction or inter prediction is applied on a current block or CU basis. As described later in the description of each prediction mode, the predictor may generate various information related to prediction, such as prediction mode information, and transmit the generated information to the entropy encoder  240 . The information on the prediction may be encoded in the entropy encoder  240  and output in the form of a bitstream. 
     The intra predictor  222  may predict the current block by referring to the samples in the current picture. The referred samples may be located in the neighborhood of the current block or may be located apart according to the prediction mode. In the intra prediction, prediction modes may include a plurality of non-directional modes and a plurality of directional modes. The non-directional mode may include, for example, a DC mode and a planar mode. The directional mode may include, for example, 33 directional prediction modes or 65 directional prediction modes according to the degree of detail of the prediction direction. However, this is merely an example, more or less directional prediction modes may be used depending on a setting. The intra predictor  222  may determine the prediction mode applied to the current block by using a prediction mode applied to a neighboring block. 
     The inter predictor  221  may derive a predicted block for the current block based on a reference block (reference sample array) specified by a motion vector on a reference picture. Here, in order to reduce the amount of motion information transmitted in the inter prediction mode, the motion information may be predicted in units of blocks, sub-blocks, or samples based on correlation of motion information between the neighboring block and the current block. The motion information may include a motion vector and a reference picture index. The motion information may further include inter prediction direction (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.) information. In the case of inter prediction, the neighboring block may include a spatial neighboring block present in the current picture and a temporal neighboring block present in the reference picture. The reference picture including the reference block and the reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be the same or different. The temporal neighboring block may be called a collocated reference block, a co-located CU (colCU), and the like, and the reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be called a collocated picture (colPic). For example, the inter predictor  221  may configure a motion information candidate list based on neighboring blocks and generate information indicating which candidate is used to derive a motion vector and/or a reference picture index of the current block. Inter prediction may be performed based on various prediction modes. For example, in the case of a skip mode and a merge mode, the inter predictor  221  may use motion information of the neighboring block as motion information of the current block. In the skip mode, unlike the merge mode, the residual signal may not be transmitted. In the case of the motion vector prediction (MVP) mode, the motion vector of the neighboring block may be used as a motion vector predictor and the motion vector of the current block may be indicated by signaling a motion vector difference. 
     The predictor  220  may generate a prediction signal based on various prediction methods described below. For example, the predictor may not only apply intra prediction or inter prediction to predict one block but also simultaneously apply both intra prediction and inter prediction. This may be called combined inter and intra prediction (CIIP). In addition, the predictor may be based on an intra block copy (IBC) prediction mode or a palette mode for prediction of a block. The IBC prediction mode or palette mode may be used for content image/video coding of a game or the like, for example, screen content coding (SCC). The IBC basically performs prediction in the current picture but may be performed similarly to inter prediction in that a reference block is derived in the current picture. That is, the IBC may use at least one of the inter prediction techniques described in the present disclosure. The palette mode may be considered as an example of intra coding or intra prediction. When the palette mode is applied, a sample value within a picture may be signaled based on information on the palette table and the palette index. 
     The prediction signal generated by the predictor (including the inter predictor  221  and/or the intra predictor  222 ) may be used to generate a reconstructed signal or to generate a residual signal. The transformer  232  may generate transform coefficients by applying a transform technique to the residual signal. For example, the transform technique may include at least one of a discrete cosine transform (DCT), a discrete sine transform (DST), a karhunen-loève transform (KLT), a graph-based transform (GBT), or a conditionally non-linear transform (CNT). Here, the GBT means transform obtained from a graph when relationship information between pixels is represented by the graph. The CNT refers to transform generated based on a prediction signal generated using all previously reconstructed pixels. In addition, the transform process may be applied to square pixel blocks having the same size or may be applied to blocks having a variable size rather than square. 
     The quantizer  233  may quantize the transform coefficients and transmit them to the entropy encoder  240  and the entropy encoder  240  may encode the quantized signal (information on the quantized transform coefficients) and output a bitstream. The information on the quantized transform coefficients may be referred to as residual information. The quantizer  233  may rearrange block type quantized transform coefficients into a one-dimensional vector form based on a coefficient scanning order and generate information on the quantized transform coefficients based on the quantized transform coefficients in the one-dimensional vector form. Information on transform coefficients may be generated. The entropy encoder  240  may perform various encoding methods such as, for example, exponential Golomb, context-adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC), context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC), and the like. The entropy encoder  240  may encode information necessary for video/image reconstruction other than quantized transform coefficients (ex. values of syntax elements, etc.) together or separately. Encoded information (ex. encoded video/image information) may be transmitted or stored in units of NALs (network abstraction layer) in the form of a bitstream. The video/image information may further include information on various parameter sets such as an adaptation parameter set (APS), a picture parameter set (PPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS), or a video parameter set (VPS). In addition, the video/image information may further include general constraint information. In the present disclosure, information and/or syntax elements transmitted/signaled from the encoding apparatus to the decoding apparatus may be included in video/picture information. The video/image information may be encoded through the above-described encoding procedure and included in the bitstream. The bitstream may be transmitted over a network or may be stored in a digital storage medium. The network may include a broadcasting network and/or a communication network, and the digital storage medium may include various storage media such as USB, SD, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, HDD, SSD, and the like. A transmitter (not shown) transmitting a signal output from the entropy encoder  240  and/or a storage unit (not shown) storing the signal may be included as internal/external element of the encoding apparatus  200 , and alternatively, the transmitter may be included in the entropy encoder  240 . 
     The quantized transform coefficients output from the quantizer  233  may be used to generate a prediction signal. For example, the residual signal (residual block or residual samples) may be reconstructed by applying dequantization and inverse transform to the quantized transform coefficients through the dequantizer  234  and the inverse transformer  235 . The adder  250  adds the reconstructed residual signal to the prediction signal output from the inter predictor  221  or the intra predictor  222  to generate a reconstructed signal (reconstructed picture, reconstructed block, reconstructed sample array). If there is no residual for the block to be processed, such as a case where the skip mode is applied, the predicted block may be used as the reconstructed block. The adder  250  may be called a reconstructor or a reconstructed block generator. The generated reconstructed signal may be used for intra prediction of a next block to be processed in the current picture and may be used for inter prediction of a next picture through filtering as described below. 
     Meanwhile, luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) may be applied during picture encoding and/or reconstruction. 
     The filter  260  may improve subjective/objective image quality by applying filtering to the reconstructed signal. For example, the filter  260  may generate a modified reconstructed picture by applying various filtering methods to the reconstructed picture and store the modified reconstructed picture in the memory  270 , specifically, a DPB of the memory  270 . The various filtering methods may include, for example, deblocking filtering, a sample adaptive offset, an adaptive loop filter, a bilateral filter, and the like. The filter  260  may generate various information related to the filtering and transmit the generated information to the entropy encoder  240  as described later in the description of each filtering method. The information related to the filtering may be encoded by the entropy encoder  240  and output in the form of a bitstream. 
     The modified reconstructed picture transmitted to the memory  270  may be used as the reference picture in the inter predictor  221 . When the inter prediction is applied through the encoding apparatus, prediction mismatch between the encoding apparatus  200  and the decoding apparatus  300  may be avoided and encoding efficiency may be improved. 
     The DPB of the memory  270  DPB may store the modified reconstructed picture for use as a reference picture in the inter predictor  221 . The memory  270  may store the motion information of the block from which the motion information in the current picture is derived (or encoded) and/or the motion information of the blocks in the picture that have already been reconstructed. The stored motion information may be transmitted to the inter predictor  221  and used as the motion information of the spatial neighboring block or the motion information of the temporal neighboring block. The memory  270  may store reconstructed samples of reconstructed blocks in the current picture and may transfer the reconstructed samples to the intra predictor  222 . 
       FIG. 3  is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a video/image decoding apparatus to which the embodiment(s) of the present disclosure may be applied. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , the decoding apparatus  300  may include an entropy decoder  310 , a residual processor  320 , a predictor  330 , an adder  340 , a filter  350 , a memory  360 . The predictor  330  may include an inter predictor  331  and an intra predictor  332 . The residual processor  320  may include a dequantizer  321  and an inverse transformer  322 . The entropy decoder  310 , the residual processor  320 , the predictor  330 , the adder  340 , and the filter  350  may be configured by a hardware component (ex. A decoder chipset or a processor) according to an embodiment. In addition, the memory  360  may include a decoded picture buffer (DPB) or may be configured by a digital storage medium. The hardware component may further include the memory  360  as an internal/external component. 
     When a bitstream including video/image information is input, the decoding apparatus  300  may reconstruct an image corresponding to a process in which the video/image information is processed in the encoding apparatus of  FIG. 2 . For example, the decoding apparatus  300  may derive units/blocks based on block partition related information obtained from the bitstream. The decoding apparatus  300  may perform decoding using a processor applied in the encoding apparatus. Thus, the processor of decoding may be a coding unit, for example, and the coding unit may be partitioned according to a quad tree structure, binary tree structure and/or ternary tree structure from the coding tree unit or the largest coding unit. One or more transform units may be derived from the coding unit. The reconstructed image signal decoded and output through the decoding apparatus  300  may be reproduced through a reproducing apparatus. 
     The decoding apparatus  300  may receive a signal output from the encoding apparatus of  FIG. 2  in the form of a bitstream, and the received signal may be decoded through the entropy decoder  310 . For example, the entropy decoder  310  may parse the bitstream to derive information (ex. video/image information) necessary for image reconstruction (or picture reconstruction). The video/image information may further include information on various parameter sets such as an adaptation parameter set (APS), a picture parameter set (PPS), a sequence parameter set (SPS), or a video parameter set (VPS). In addition, the video/image information may further include general constraint information. The decoding apparatus may further decode picture based on the information on the parameter set and/or the general constraint information. Signaled/received information and/or syntax elements described later in the present disclosure may be decoded may decode the decoding procedure and obtained from the bitstream. For example, the entropy decoder  310  decodes the information in the bitstream based on a coding method such as exponential Golomb coding, CAVLC, or CABAC, and output syntax elements required for image reconstruction and quantized values of transform coefficients for residual. More specifically, the CABAC entropy decoding method may receive a bin corresponding to each syntax element in the bitstream, determine a context model using a decoding target syntax element information, decoding information of a decoding target block or information of a symbol/bin decoded in a previous stage, and perform an arithmetic decoding on the bin by predicting a probability of occurrence of a bin according to the determined context model, and generate a symbol corresponding to the value of each syntax element. In this case, the CABAC entropy decoding method may update the context model by using the information of the decoded symbol/bin for a context model of a next symbol/bin after determining the context model. The information related to the prediction among the information decoded by the entropy decoder  310  may be provided to the predictor (the inter predictor  332  and the intra predictor  331 ), and the residual value on which the entropy decoding was performed in the entropy decoder  310 , that is, the quantized transform coefficients and related parameter information, may be input to the residual processor  320 . The residual processor  320  may derive the residual signal (the residual block, the residual samples, the residual sample array). In addition, information on filtering among information decoded by the entropy decoder  310  may be provided to the filter  350 . Meanwhile, a receiver (not shown) for receiving a signal output from the encoding apparatus may be further configured as an internal/external element of the decoding apparatus  300 , or the receiver may be a component of the entropy decoder  310 . Meanwhile, the decoding apparatus according to the present disclosure may be referred to as a video/image/picture decoding apparatus, and the decoding apparatus may be classified into an information decoder (video/image/picture information decoder) and a sample decoder (video/image/picture sample decoder). The information decoder may include the entropy decoder  310 , and the sample decoder may include at least one of the dequantizer  321 , the inverse transformer  322 , the adder  340 , the filter  350 , the memory  360 , the inter predictor  332 , and the intra predictor  331 . 
     The dequantizer  321  may dequantize the quantized transform coefficients and output the transform coefficients. The dequantizer  321  may rearrange the quantized transform coefficients in the form of a two-dimensional block form. In this case, the rearrangement may be performed based on the coefficient scanning order performed in the encoding apparatus. The dequantizer  321  may perform dequantization on the quantized transform coefficients by using a quantization parameter (ex. quantization step size information) and obtain transform coefficients. 
     The inverse transformer  322  inversely transforms the transform coefficients to obtain a residual signal (residual block, residual sample array). 
     The predictor may perform prediction on the current block and generate a predicted block including prediction samples for the current block. The predictor may determine whether intra prediction or inter prediction is applied to the current block based on the information on the prediction output from the entropy decoder  310  and may determine a specific intra/inter prediction mode. 
     The predictor  320  may generate a prediction signal based on various prediction methods described below. For example, the predictor may not only apply intra prediction or inter prediction to predict one block but also simultaneously apply intra prediction and inter prediction. This may be called combined inter and intra prediction (CIIP). In addition, the predictor may be based on an intra block copy (IBC) prediction mode or a palette mode for prediction of a block. The IBC prediction mode or palette mode may be used for content image/video coding of a game or the like, for example, screen content coding (SCC). The IBC basically performs prediction in the current picture but may be performed similarly to inter prediction in that a reference block is derived in the current picture. That is, the IBC may use at least one of the inter prediction techniques described in the present disclosure. The palette mode may be considered as an example of intra coding or intra prediction. When the palette mode is applied, a sample value within a picture may be signaled based on information on the palette table and the palette index. 
     The intra predictor  331  may predict the current block by referring to the samples in the current picture. The referred samples may be located in the neighborhood of the current block or may be located apart according to the prediction mode. In the intra prediction, prediction modes may include a plurality of non-directional modes and a plurality of directional modes. The intra predictor  331  may determine the prediction mode applied to the current block by using a prediction mode applied to a neighboring block. 
     The inter predictor  332  may derive a predicted block for the current block based on a reference block (reference sample array) specified by a motion vector on a reference picture. In this case, in order to reduce the amount of motion information transmitted in the inter prediction mode, motion information may be predicted in units of blocks, sub-blocks, or samples based on correlation of motion information between the neighboring block and the current block. The motion information may include a motion vector and a reference picture index. The motion information may further include inter prediction direction (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.) information. In the case of inter prediction, the neighboring block may include a spatial neighboring block present in the current picture and a temporal neighboring block present in the reference picture. For example, the inter predictor  332  may configure a motion information candidate list based on neighboring blocks and derive a motion vector of the current block and/or a reference picture index based on the received candidate selection information. Inter prediction may be performed based on various prediction modes, and the information on the prediction may include information indicating a mode of inter prediction for the current block. 
     The adder  340  may generate a reconstructed signal (reconstructed picture, reconstructed block, reconstructed sample array) by adding the obtained residual signal to the prediction signal (predicted block, predicted sample array) output from the predictor (including the inter predictor  332  and/or the intra predictor  331 ). If there is no residual for the block to be processed, such as when the skip mode is applied, the predicted block may be used as the reconstructed block. 
     The adder  340  may be called reconstructor or a reconstructed block generator. The generated reconstructed signal may be used for intra prediction of a next block to be processed in the current picture, may be output through filtering as described below, or may be used for inter prediction of a next picture. 
     Meanwhile, luma mapping with chroma scaling (LMCS) may be applied in the picture decoding process. 
     The filter  350  may improve subjective/objective image quality by applying filtering to the reconstructed signal. For example, the filter  350  may generate a modified reconstructed picture by applying various filtering methods to the reconstructed picture and store the modified reconstructed picture in the memory  360 , specifically, a DPB of the memory  360 . The various filtering methods may include, for example, deblocking filtering, a sample adaptive offset, an adaptive loop filter, a bilateral filter, and the like. 
     The (modified) reconstructed picture stored in the DPB of the memory  360  may be used as a reference picture in the inter predictor  332 . The memory  360  may store the motion information of the block from which the motion information in the current picture is derived (or decoded) and/or the motion information of the blocks in the picture that have already been reconstructed. The stored motion information may be transmitted to the inter predictor  260  so as to be utilized as the motion information of the spatial neighboring block or the motion information of the temporal neighboring block. The memory  360  may store reconstructed samples of reconstructed blocks in the current picture and transfer the reconstructed samples to the intra predictor  331 . 
     In the present disclosure, the embodiments described in the filter  260 , the inter predictor  221 , and the intra predictor  222  of the encoding apparatus  200  may be the same as or respectively applied to correspond to the filter  350 , the inter predictor  332 , and the intra predictor  331  of the decoding apparatus  300 . The same may also apply to the unit  332  and the intra predictor  331 . 
     In the present disclosure, at least one of quantization/inverse quantization and/or transform/inverse transform may be omitted. When the quantization/inverse quantization is omitted, the quantized transform coefficients may be called transform coefficients. When the transform/inverse transform is omitted, the transform coefficients may be called coefficients or residual coefficients, or may still be called transform coefficients for uniformity of expression. 
     In the present disclosure, a quantized transform coefficient and a transform coefficient may be referred to as a transform coefficient and a scaled transform coefficient, respectively. In this case, the residual information may include information on transform coefficient(s), and the information on the transform coefficient(s) may be signaled through residual coding syntax. Transform coefficients may be derived based on the residual information (or the information on the transform coefficient(s)), and scaled transform coefficients may be derived by inverse transforming (scaling) on the transform coefficients. Residual samples may be derived based on the inverse transforming (transforming) on the scaled transform coefficients. This may be applied/expressed in other parts of the present disclosure as well. 
     Meanwhile, as described above, in performing video coding, prediction is performed to improve compression efficiency. Through this, a predicted block including prediction samples for a current block as a block to be coded (i.e., a coding target block) may be generated. Here, the predicted block includes prediction samples in a spatial domain (or pixel domain). The predicted block is derived in the same manner in an encoding apparatus and a decoding apparatus, and the encoding apparatus may signal information (residual information) on residual between the original block and the predicted block, rather than an original sample value of an original block, to the decoding apparatus, thereby increasing image coding efficiency. The decoding apparatus may derive a residual block including residual samples based on the residual information, add the residual block and the predicted block to generate reconstructed blocks including reconstructed samples, and generate a reconstructed picture including the reconstructed blocks. 
     The residual information may be generated through a transform and quantization procedure. For example, the encoding apparatus may derive a residual block between the original block and the predicted block, perform a transform procedure on residual samples (residual sample array) included in the residual block to derive transform coefficients, perform a quantization procedure on the transform coefficients to derive quantized transform coefficients, and signal related residual information to the decoding apparatus (through a bit stream). Here, the residual information may include value information of the quantized transform coefficients, location information, a transform technique, a transform kernel, a quantization parameter, and the like. The decoding apparatus may perform dequantization/inverse transform procedure based on the residual information and derive residual samples (or residual blocks). The decoding apparatus may generate a reconstructed picture based on the predicted block and the residual block. Also, for reference for inter prediction of a picture afterward, the encoding apparatus may also dequantize/inverse-transform the quantized transform coefficients to derive a residual block and generate a reconstructed picture based thereon. 
     Intra prediction may refer to prediction that generates prediction samples for a current block based on reference samples in a picture to which the current block belongs (hereinafter, referred to as a current picture). When the intra prediction is applied to the current block, neighboring reference samples to be used for the intra prediction of the current block may be derived. The neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a sample adjacent to the left boundary of the current block of size nW×nH and a total of 2×nH samples adjacent to the bottom-left of the current block, a sample adjacent to the top boundary of the current block and a total of 2×nW samples adjacent to the top-right and a sample adjacent to the top-left of the current block. Alternatively, the neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a plurality of columns of top neighboring samples and a plurality of rows of left neighboring samples. In addition, the neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a total of nH samples adjacent to the right boundary of the current block of size nW×nH, a total of nW samples adjacent to the bottom boundary of the current block and a sample adjacent to the bottom-right of the current block. 
     However, some of the neighboring reference samples of the current block have not yet been decoded or may not be available. In this case, the decoder may construct neighboring reference samples to be used for prediction by substituting unavailable samples with available samples. Alternatively, neighboring reference samples to be used for prediction may be configured through interpolation of available samples. 
     When the neighboring reference samples are derived, (i) a prediction sample may be derived based on the average or interpolation of neighboring reference samples of the current block, or (ii) the prediction sample may be derived based on a reference sample existing in a specific (prediction) direction with respect to a prediction sample among the neighboring reference samples of the current block. The case of (i) may be called a non-directional mode or a non-angular mode, and the case of (ii) may be called a directional mode or an angular mode. 
     In addition, the prediction sample may be generated through interpolation of a first neighboring sample located in the prediction direction of the intra prediction mode of the current block based on the prediction sample of the current block and a second neighboring sample located in a direction opposite to the prediction direction among the neighboring reference samples. The above-described case may be referred to as linear interpolation intra prediction (LIP). In addition, chroma prediction samples may be generated based on the luma samples using a linear model (LM). This case may be called an LM mode or a chroma component LM (CCLM) mode. 
     In addition, a temporary prediction sample of the current block is derived based on the filtered neighboring reference samples, and a prediction sample of the current block may also be derived by weighted summing the temporary prediction sample and at least one reference sample derived according to the intra prediction mode among the existing neighboring reference samples, that is, unfiltered neighboring reference samples. The above-described case may be referred to as position dependent intra prediction (PDPC). 
     In addition, a reference sample line with the highest prediction accuracy among neighboring multiple reference sample lines of the current block is selected, and a prediction sample is derived using a reference sample located in the prediction direction in the selected line. In this case, intra prediction encoding may be performed by indicating (signaling) the used reference sample line to the decoding apparatus. The above-described case may be referred to as multi-reference line intra prediction or MRL-based intra prediction. 
     In addition, the current block is divided into vertical or horizontal sub-partitions and intra prediction is performed based on the same intra prediction mode, but neighboring reference samples may be derived and used in units of the sub-partitions. That is, in this case, the intra prediction mode for the current block is equally applied to the sub-partitions, but the intra prediction performance may be improved in some cases by deriving and using the neighboring reference samples in units of the sub-partitions. This prediction method may be called intra-prediction based on intra sub-partitions (ISP). 
     The above-described intra prediction methods may be called intra prediction types to be distinguished from the intra prediction mode. The intra prediction types may be referred to by various terms such as intra prediction technique or additional intra prediction modes. For example, the intra prediction types (or additional intra prediction modes, etc.) may include at least one of the aforementioned LIP, PDPC, MRL, and ISP. A general intra prediction method excluding a specific intra prediction type such as LIP, PDPC, MRL, and ISP may be referred to as a normal intra prediction type. The normal intra prediction type may be generally applied when the above specific intra prediction type is not applied, and prediction may be performed based on the above-described intra prediction mode. Meanwhile, if necessary, post-processing filtering may be performed on the derived prediction sample. 
     Specifically, the intra prediction process may include an intra prediction mode/type determination step, neighboring reference samples derivation step, and an intra prediction mode/type based prediction sample derivation step. In addition, if necessary, a post-filtering step may be performed on the derived prediction sample. 
       FIG. 4  illustrates an example of an intra prediction-based video/image encoding method. 
     Referring to  FIG. 4 , the encoding device performs intra prediction on the current block S 400 . The encoding device derives an intra prediction mode/type for the current block, derives neighboring reference samples of the current block, generates prediction samples in the current block based on the intra prediction mode/type and the neighboring reference samples. Here, the intra prediction mode/type determination, neighboring reference samples derivation, and prediction samples generation procedures may be performed simultaneously, or one procedure may be performed before another procedure. The encoding device may determine a mode/type applied to the current block from among a plurality of intra prediction modes/types. The encoding device may compare RD costs for the intra prediction mode/types and determine an optimal intra prediction mode/type for the current block. 
     Meanwhile, the encoding device may perform a prediction sample filtering procedure. The prediction sample filtering may be referred to as post filtering. Some or all of the prediction samples may be filtered by the prediction sample filtering procedure. In some cases, the prediction sample filtering procedure may be omitted. 
     The encoding device generates residual samples for the current block based on the (filtered) prediction samples S 410 . The encoding device may compare the prediction samples in the original samples of the current block based on the phase and derive the residual samples. 
     The encoding device may encode image information including information on the intra prediction (prediction information) and residual information on the residual samples S 420 . The prediction information may include the intra prediction mode information and the intra prediction type information. The encoding device may output encoded image information in the form of a bitstream. The output bitstream may be transmitted to the decoding device through a storage medium or a network. 
     The residual information may include residual coding syntax, which will be described later. The encoding device may transform/quantize the residual samples to derive quantized transform coefficients. The residual information may include information on the quantized transform coefficients. 
     Meanwhile, as described above, the encoding device may generate a reconstructed picture (including reconstructed samples and reconstructed blocks). To this end, the encoding device may derive (modified) residual samples by performing inverse quantization/inverse transformation on the quantized transform coefficients again. The reason for performing the inverse quantization/inverse transformation again after transforming/quantizing the residual samples in this way is to derive the same residual samples as the residual samples derived in the decoding device as described above. The encoding device may generate a reconstructed block including reconstructed samples for the current block based on the prediction samples and the (modified) residual samples. A reconstructed picture for the current picture may be generated based on the reconstructed block. As described above, an in-loop filtering procedure may be further applied to the reconstructed picture. 
       FIG. 5  illustrates an example of an intra prediction-based video/image encoding method. 
     The decoding device may perform an operation corresponding to the operation performed by the encoding apparatus. 
     Prediction information and residual information may be obtained from a bitstream. Residual samples for the current block may be derived based on the residual information. Specifically, transform coefficients may be derived by performing inverse quantization based on the quantized transform coefficients derived based on the residual information, residual samples for the current block may be derived by performing inverse transform on the transform coefficients. 
     Specifically, the decoding device may derive the intra prediction mode/type for the current block based on the received prediction information (intra prediction mode/type information) S 500 . The decoding device may derive neighboring reference samples of the current block S 510 . The decoding device generates prediction samples in the current block based on the intra prediction mode/type and the neighboring reference samples S 520 . In this case, the decoding device may perform a prediction sample filtering procedure. The Predictive sample filtering may be referred to as post filtering. Some or all of the prediction samples may be filtered by the prediction sample filtering procedure. In some cases, the prediction sample filtering procedure may be omitted. 
     The decoding device generates residual samples for the current block based on the received residual information S 530 . The decoding device may generate reconstructed samples for the current block based on the prediction samples and the residual samples, and may derive a reconstructed block including the reconstructed samples S 540 . A reconstructed picture for the current picture may be generated based on the reconstructed block. As described above, an in-loop filtering procedure may be further applied to the reconstructed picture. 
     The intra prediction mode information may include, for example, flag information (ex. intra_luma_mpm_flag) indicating whether MPM (most probable mode) is applied to the current block or whether a remaining mode is applied, and, when the MPM is applied to the current block, the prediction mode information may further include index information (eg, intra_luma_mpm_idx) indicating one of the intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates). The intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates) may be constructed of an MPM candidate list or an MPM list. In addition, when the MPM is not applied to the current block, the intra prediction mode information includes remaining mode information (ex. intra_luma_mpm_remainder) indicating one of the remaining intra prediction modes except for the intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates). The decoding device may determine the intra prediction mode of the current block based on the intra prediction mode information. 
     Also, the intra prediction type information may be implemented in various forms. For example, the intra prediction type information may include intra prediction type index information indicating one of the intra prediction types. As another example, the intra prediction type information may include at least one of reference sample line information (ex. intra_luma_ref_idx) representing whether the MRL is applied to the current block and, if applied, which reference sample line is used, ISP flag information representing whether the ISP is applied to the current block (ex. intra_subpartitions_mode_flag), ISP type information indicating a split type of subpartitions when the ISP is applied (ex. intra_subpartitions_split_flag), flag information representing whether the PDPC is applied or flag information representing whether the LIP is applied. Also, the intra prediction type information may include a MIP flag representing whether matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) is applied to the current block. 
     The intra prediction mode information and/or the intra prediction type information may be encoded/decoded through a coding method described in the present disclosure. For example, the intra prediction mode information and/or the intra prediction type information may be encoded/decoded through entropy coding (e.g., CABAC, CAVLC). 
       FIG. 6  schematically shows an intra prediction procedure. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , as described above, the intra prediction procedure may include a step of determinating an intra prediction mode/type, a step of deriving neighboring reference samples, and a step of performing intra prediction (generating a prediction sample). The intra prediction procedure may be performed by the encoding device and the decoding device as described above. In the present disclosure, a coding device may include the encoding device and/or the decoding device. 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , the coding device determines an intra prediction mode/type S 600 . 
     The encoding device may determine an intra prediction mode/type applied to the current block from among the various intra prediction modes/types described above, and may generate prediction related information. The prediction related information may include intra prediction mode information representing an intra prediction mode applied to the current block and/or intra prediction type information representing an intra prediction type applied to the current block. The decoding device may determine an intra prediction mode/type applied to the current block based on the prediction related information. 
     The intra prediction mode information may include, for example, flag information (ex. intra_luma_mpm_flag) representing whether a most probable mode (MPM) is applied to the current block or a remaining mode is applied, and the When the MPM is applied to the current block, the prediction mode information may further include index information (eg, intra_luma_mpm_idx) indicating one of the intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates). The intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates) may be constructed of an MPM candidate list or an MPM list. In addition, when the MPM is not applied to the current block, the intra prediction mode information may further include remaining mode information (ex. intra_luma_mpm_remainder) indicating one of the remaining intra prediction modes except for the intra prediction mode candidates (MPM candidates). The decoding device may determine the intra prediction mode of the current block based on the intra prediction mode information. 
     In addition, the intra prediction type information may be implemented in various forms. For example, the intra prediction type information may include intra prediction type index information indicating one of the intra prediction types. As another example, the intra prediction type information may include at least one of reference sample line information (ex. intra_luma_ref_idx) representing whether the MRL is applied to the current block and, if applied, which reference sample line is used, ISP flag information representing whether the ISP is applied to the current block (ex. intra_subpartitions_mode_flag), ISP type information indicating a split type of subpartitions when the ISP is applied (ex. intra_subpartitions_split_flag), flag information representing whether the PDPC is applied or flag information representing whether the LIP is applied. Also, the intra prediction type information may include a MIP flag representing whether matrix-based intra prediction (MIP) is applied to the current block. 
     For example, when intra prediction is applied, an intra prediction mode applied to the current block may be determined using an intra prediction mode of a neighboring block. For example, the coding device may select one of most probable mode (MPM) candidates in the MPM list derived based on additional candidate modes and/or an intra prediction mode of the neighboring block (eg, the left and/or top neighboring block) of the current block, or select one of the remaining intra prediction modes not included in the MPM candidates (and planar mode) based on the MPM remainder information (remaining intra prediction mode information). The MPM list may be configured to include or not include the planner mode as a candidate. For example, when the MPM list includes a planner mode as a candidate, the MPM list may have 6 candidates, and when the MPM list does not include a planner mode as a candidate, the MPM list may have 5 candidates. When the MPM list does not include the planar mode as a candidate, a not planar flag (ex. intra_luma_not_planar_flag) representing whether the intra prediction mode of the current block is not the planar mode may be signaled. For example, the MPM flag may be signaled first, and the MPM index and not planner flag may be signaled when the value of the MPM flag is 1. Also, the MPM index may be signaled when the value of the not planner flag is 1. Here, the fact that the MPM list is configured not to include the planner mode as a candidate is that the planner mode is always considered as MPM rather than that the planner mode is not MPM, thus, the flag (not planar flag) is signaled first to check whether it is the planar mode. 
     For example, whether the intra prediction mode applied to the current block is among the MPM candidates (and the planar mode) or the remaining modes may be indicated based on the MPM flag (eg, intra_luma_mpm_flag). The MPM flag with a value of 1 may indicate that the intra prediction mode for the current block is within MPM candidates (and planar mode), and The MPM flag with a value of 0 may indicate that the intra prediction mode for the current block is not within MPM candidates (and planar mode). The not planar flag (ex. intra_luma_not_planar_flag) with a value of 0 may indicate that the intra prediction mode for the current block is a planar mode, and the not planar flag with a value of 1 may indicate that the intra prediction mode for the current block is not the planar mode. The MPM index may be signaled in the form of an mpm_idx or intra_luma_mpm_idx syntax element, and the remaining intra prediction mode information may be signaled in the form of a rem_intra_luma_pred_mode or intra_luma_mpm_remainder syntax element. For example, the remaining intra prediction mode information may indicate one of the remaining intra prediction modes not included in the MPM candidates (and planar mode) among all intra prediction modes by indexing in the order of prediction mode number. The intra prediction mode may be an intra prediction mode for a luma component (sample). Hereinafter, the intra prediction mode information may include at least one of the MPM flag (ex. intra_luma_mpm_flag), the not planar flag (ex. intra_luma_not_planar_flag), the MPM index (ex. mpm_idx or intra_luma_mpm_idx), or the remaining intra prediction mode information (rem_intra_luma_luma_mpm_mode or intra_luma_mpminder). In the present disclosure, the MPM list may be referred to by various terms such as an MPM candidate list and candModeList. 
     When the MIP is applied to the current block, a separate mpm flag (ex. intra_mip_mpm_flag) for the MIP, an mpm index (ex. intra_mip_mpm_idx), and remaining intra prediction mode information (ex. intra_mip_mpm_remainder) may be signaled, and the not planar flag may not be signaled. 
     In other words, in general, when a block partition for an image is performed, the current block to be coded and a neighboring block have similar image characteristics. Therefore, there is a high probability that the current block and the neighboring block have the same or similar intra prediction mode. Accordingly, the encoder may use the intra prediction mode of the neighboring block to encode the intra prediction mode of the current block. 
     The coding device may construct a most probable modes (MPM) list for the current block. The MPM list may be referred to as the MPM candidate list. Here, the MPM may refer to modes used to improve coding efficiency in consideration of the similarity between the current block and the neighboring blocks during intra prediction mode coding. As described above, the MPM list may be constructed to include the planar mode, or may be constructed to exclude the planar mode. For example, when the MPM list includes the planar mode, the number of candidates in the MPM list may be 6. And, when the MPM list does not include the planar mode, the number of candidates in the MPM list may be 5. 
     The encoding device may perform prediction based on various intra prediction modes, and may determine an optimal intra prediction mode based on rate-distortion optimization (RDO) based thereon. In this case, the encoding device may determine the optimal intra prediction mode by using only the MPM candidates and planar mode configured in the MPM list, or by further using the remaining intra prediction modes as well as the MPM candidates and planar mode configured in the MPM list. Specifically, for example, if the intra prediction type of the current block is a specific type (ex. LIP, MRL, or ISP) other than the normal intra prediction type, the encoding device may determine the optimal intra prediction mode by considering only the MPM candidates and the planar mode as intra prediction mode candidates for the current block. That is, in this case, the intra prediction mode for the current block may be determined only from among the MPM candidates and the planar mode, and in this case, encoding/signaling of the mpm flag may not be performed. In this case, the decoding device may infer that the mpm flag is 1 without separately signaling the mpm flag. 
     Meanwhile, in general, when the intra prediction mode of the current block is not the planar mode and is one of the MPM candidates in the MPM list, the encoding device generates an mpm index (mpm idx) indicating one of the MPM candidates. when the intra prediction mode of the current block is not included in the MPM list, the encoding device generates MPM reminder information (remaining intra prediction mode information) indicating the same mode as the intra prediction mode of the current block among the remaining intra prediction modes not included in the MPM list (and planar mode). The MPM reminder information may include, for example, an intra_luma_mpm_remainder syntax element. 
     The decoding device obtains intra prediction mode information from the bitstream. As described above, the intra prediction mode information may include at least one of an MPM flag, a not planner flag, an MPM index, and MPM remaster information (remaining intra prediction mode information). The decoding device may construct the MPM list. The MPM list is constructed the same as the MPM list constructed in the encoding device. That is, the MPM list may include intra prediction modes of neighboring blocks, or may further include specific intra prediction modes according to a predetermined method. 
     The decoding device may determine the intra prediction mode of the current block based on the MPM list and the intra prediction mode information. For example, when the value of the MPM flag is 1, the decoding device may derive the planar mode as the intra prediction mode of the current block (based on not planar flag) or derive the candidate indicated by the MPM index from among the MPM candidates in the MPM list as the intra prediction mode of the current block. Here, the MPM candidates may represent only candidates included in the MPM list, or may include not only candidates included in the MPM list but also the planar mode applicable when the value of the MPM flag is 1. 
     As another example, when the value of the MPM flag is 0, the decoding device may derive an intra prediction mode indicated by the remaining intra prediction mode information (which may be referred to as mpm remainder information) among the remaining intra prediction modes not included in the MPM list and the planner mode as the intra prediction mode of the current block. Meanwhile, as another example, when the intra prediction type of the current block is a specific type (ex. LIP, MRL or ISP, etc.), the decoding device may derive a candidate indicated by the MPM flag in the planar mode or the MPM list as the intra prediction mode of the current block without parsing/decoding/checking the MPM flag. 
     The coding device derives neighboring reference samples of the current block S 610 . When intra prediction is applied to the current block, the neighboring reference samples to be used for the intra prediction of the current block may be derived. The neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a sample adjacent to the left boundary of the current block of size nW×nH and a total of 2×nH samples adjacent to the bottom-left of the current block, a sample adjacent to the top boundary of the current block and a total of 2×nW samples adjacent to the top-right and a sample adjacent to the top-left of the current block. Alternatively, the neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a plurality of columns of top neighboring samples and a plurality of rows of left neighboring samples. In addition, the neighboring reference samples of the current block may include a total of nH samples adjacent to the right boundary of the current block of size nW×nH, a total of nW samples adjacent to the bottom boundary of the current block and a sample adjacent to the bottom-right of the current block. 
     On the other hand, when the MRL is applied (that is, when the value of the MRL index is greater than 0), the neighboring reference samples may be located on lines 1 to 2 instead of line 0 adjacent to the current block on the left/top side, and in this case, the number of the neighboring reference samples may be further increased. Meanwhile, when the ISP is applied, the neighboring reference samples may be derived in units of sub-partitions. 
     The coding device derives prediction samples by performing intra prediction on the current block S 620 . The coding device may derive the prediction samples based on the intra prediction mode/type and the neighboring samples. The coding device may derive a reference sample according to an intra prediction mode of the current block among neighboring reference samples of the current block, and may derive a prediction sample of the current block based on the reference sample. 
     Meanwhile, when inter prediction is applied, the predictor of the encoding apparatus/decoding apparatus may derive prediction samples by performing inter prediction in units of blocks. The inter prediction may be applied when performing the prediction on the current block. That is, the predictor (more specifically, inter predictor) of the encoding/decoding apparatus may derive prediction samples by performing the inter prediction in units of the block. The inter prediction may represent prediction derived by a method dependent to the data elements (e.g., sample values or motion information) of a picture(s) other than the current picture. When the inter prediction is applied to the current block, a predicted block (prediction sample array) for the current block may be derived based on a reference block (reference sample array) specified by the motion vector on the reference picture indicated by the reference picture index. In this case, in order to reduce an amount of motion information transmitted in the inter-prediction mode, the motion information of the current block may be predicted in units of a block, a subblock, or a sample based on a correlation of the motion information between the neighboring block and the current block. The motion information may include the motion vector and the reference picture index. The motion information may further include inter-prediction type (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.) information. In the case of applying the inter prediction, the neighboring block may include a spatial neighboring block which is present in the current picture and a temporal neighboring block which is present in the reference picture. A reference picture including the reference block and a reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be the same as each other or different from each other. The temporal neighboring block may be referred to as a name such as a collocated reference block, a collocated CU (colCU), etc., and the reference picture including the temporal neighboring block may be referred to as a collocated picture (colPic). For example, a motion information candidate list may be configured based on the neighboring blocks of the current block and a flag or index information indicating which candidate is selected (used) may be signaled in order to derive the motion vector and/or reference picture index of the current block. The inter prediction may be performed based on various prediction modes and for example, in the case of a skip mode and a merge mode, the motion information of the current block may be the same as the motion information of the selected neighboring block. In the case of the skip mode, the residual signal may not be transmitted unlike the merge mode. In the case of a motion vector prediction (MVP) mode, the motion vector of the selected neighboring block may be used as a motion vector predictor and a motion vector difference may be signaled. In this case, the motion vector of the current block may be derived by using a sum of the motion vector predictor and the motion vector difference. 
     The motion information may further include L0 motion information and/or L1 motion information according to the inter-prediction type (L0 prediction, L1 prediction, Bi prediction, etc.). A L0-direction motion vector may be referred to as an L0 motion vector or MVL0 and an L1-direction motion vector may be referred to as an L1 motion vector or MVL1. A prediction based on the L0 motion vector may be referred to as an L0 prediction, a prediction based on the L1 motion vector may be referred to as an L1 prediction, and a prediction based on both the L0 motion vector and the L1 motion vector may be referred to as a bi-prediction. Here, the L0 motion vector may indicate a motion vector associated with a reference picture list L0 and the L1 motion vector may indicate a motion vector associated with a reference picture list L1. The reference picture list L0 may include pictures prior to the current picture in an output order and the reference picture list L1 may include pictures subsequent to the current picture in the output order, as the reference pictures. The prior pictures may be referred to as a forward (reference) picture and the subsequent pictures may be referred to as a reverse (reference) picture. The reference picture list L0 may further include the pictures subsequent to the current picture in the output order as the reference pictures. In this case, the prior pictures may be first indexed in the reference picture list L0 and the subsequent pictures may then be indexed. The reference picture list L1 may further include the pictures prior to the current picture in the output order as the reference pictures. In this case, the subsequent pictures may be first indexed in the reference picture list L1 and the prior pictures may then be indexed. Here, the output order may correspond to a picture order count (POC) order. 
     A video/image encoding process based on inter prediction may schematically include, for example, the following. 
       FIG. 7  illustrates an example of an inter prediction-based video/image encoding method. 
     The encoding apparatus performs the inter prediction for the current block (S 700 ). The encoding apparatus may derive the inter prediction mode and the motion information of the current block and generate the prediction samples of the current block. Here, an inter prediction mode determining process, a motion information deriving process, and a generation process of the prediction samples may be simultaneously performed and any one process may be performed earlier than other process. For example, the inter-prediction unit of the encoding apparatus may include a prediction mode determination unit, a motion information derivation unit, and a prediction sample derivation unit, and the prediction mode determination unit may determine the prediction mode for the current block, the motion information derivation unit may derive the motion information of the current block, and the prediction sample derivation unit may derive the prediction samples of the current block. For example, the inter-prediction unit of the encoding apparatus may search a block similar to the current block in a predetermined area (search area) of reference pictures through motion estimation and derive a reference block in which a difference from the current block is minimum or is equal to or less than a predetermined criterion. A reference picture index indicating a reference picture at which the reference block is positioned may be derived based thereon and a motion vector may be derived based on a difference in location between the reference block and the current block. The encoding apparatus may determine a mode applied to the current block among various prediction modes. The encoding apparatus may compare RD cost for the various prediction modes and determine an optimal prediction mode for the current block. 
     For example, when the skip mode or the merge mode is applied to the current block, the encoding apparatus may configure a merging candidate list to be described below and derive a reference block in which a difference from the current block is minimum or is equal to or less than a predetermined criterion among reference blocks indicated by merge candidates included in the merging candidate list. In this case, a merge candidate associated with the derived reference block may be selected and merge index information indicating the selected merge candidate may be generated and signaled to the decoding apparatus. The motion information of the current block may be derived by using the motion information of the selected merge candidate. 
     As another example, when an (A)MVP mode is applied to the current block, the encoding apparatus may configure an (A)MVP candidate list to be described below and use a motion vector of a selected mvp candidate among motion vector predictor (mvp) candidates included in the (A)MVP candidate list as the mvp of the current block. In this case, for example, the motion vector indicating the reference block derived by the motion estimation may be used as the motion vector of the current block and an mvp candidate having a motion vector with a smallest difference from the motion vector of the current block among the mvp candidates may become the selected mvp candidate. A motion vector difference (MVD) which is a difference obtained by subtracting the mvp from the motion vector of the current block may be derived. In this case, the information on the MVD may be signaled to the decoding apparatus. Further, when the (A)MVP mode is applied, the value of the reference picture index may be configured as reference picture index information and separately signaled to the decoding apparatus. 
     The encoding apparatus may derive the residual samples based on the predicted samples (S 710 ). The encoding apparatus may derive the residual samples by comparing original samples and the prediction samples of the current block. 
     The encoding apparatus encodes image information including prediction information and residual information (S 720 ). The encoding apparatus may output the encoded image information in the form of a bitstream. The prediction information may include information on prediction mode information (e.g., skip flag, merge flag or mode index, etc.) and information on motion information as information related to the prediction procedure. The information on the motion information may include candidate selection information (e.g., merge index, mvp flag or mvp index) which is information for deriving the motion vector. Further, the information on the motion information may include the information on the MVD and/or the reference picture index information. Further, the information on the motion information may include information indicating whether to apply the L0 prediction, the L1 prediction, or the bi-prediction. The residual information is information on the residual samples. The residual information may include information on quantized transform coefficients for the residual samples. 
     An output bitstream may be stored in a (digital) storage medium and transferred to the decoding apparatus or transferred to the decoding apparatus via the network. 
     Meanwhile, as described above, the encoding apparatus may generate a reconstructed picture (including reconstructed samples and reconstructed blocks) based on the reference samples and the residual samples. This is to derive the same prediction result as that performed by the decoding apparatus, and as a result, coding efficiency may be increased. Accordingly, the encoding apparatus may store the reconstruction picture (or reconstruction samples or reconstruction blocks) in the memory and utilize the reconstruction picture as the reference picture. The in-loop filtering process may be further applied to the reconstruction picture as described above. 
     A video/image decoding process based on inter prediction may schematically include, for example, the following. 
       FIG. 8  illustrates an example of an inter prediction-based video/image decoding method. 
     Referring to  FIG. 8 , the decoding apparatus may perform an operation corresponding to the operation performed by the encoding apparatus. The decoding apparatus may perform the prediction for the current block based on received prediction information and derive the prediction samples. 
     Specifically, the decoding apparatus may determine the prediction mode for the current block based on the received prediction information (S 800 ). The decoding apparatus may determine which inter prediction mode is applied to the current block based on the prediction mode information in the prediction information. 
     For example, it may be determined whether the merge mode or the (A)MVP mode is applied to the current block based on the merge flag. Alternatively, one of various inter prediction mode candidates may be selected based on the mode index. The inter prediction mode candidates may include a skip mode, a merge mode, and/or an (A)MVP mode or may include various inter prediction modes to be described below. 
     The decoding apparatus derives the motion information of the current block based on the determined inter prediction mode (S 810 ). For example, when the skip mode or the merge mode is applied to the current block, the decoding apparatus may configure the merge candidate list to be described below and select one merge candidate among the merge candidates included in the merge candidate list. Here, the selection may be performed based on the selection information (merge index). The motion information of the current block may be derived by using the motion information of the selected merge candidate. The motion information of the selected merge candidate may be used as the motion information of the current block. 
     As another example, when an (A)MVP mode is applied to the current block, the decoding apparatus may configure an (A)MVP candidate list to be described below and use a motion vector of a selected mvp candidate among motion vector predictor (mvp) candidates included in the (A)MVP candidate list as the mvp of the current block. Here, the selection may be performed based on the selection information (mvp flag or mvp index). In this case, the MVD of the current block may be derived based on the information on the MVD, and the motion vector of the current block may be derived based on the mvp of the current block and the MVD. Further, the reference picture index of the current block may be derived based on the reference picture index information. The picture indicated by the reference picture index in the reference picture list for the current block may be derived as the reference picture referred for the inter prediction of the current block. 
     Meanwhile, as described below, the motion information of the current block may be derived without a candidate list configuration and in this case, the motion information of the current block may be derived according to a procedure disclosed in the prediction mode. In this case, the candidate list configuration may be omitted. 
     The decoding apparatus may generate the prediction samples for the current block based on the motion information of the current block (S 820 ). In this case, the reference picture may be derived based on the reference picture index of the current block and the prediction samples of the current block may be derived by using the samples of the reference block indicated by the motion vector of the current block on the reference picture. In this case, in some cases, a predicted sample filtering procedure for all or some of the prediction samples of the current block may be further performed. 
     For example, the inter-prediction unit of the decoding apparatus may include a prediction mode determination unit, a motion information derivation unit, and a prediction sample derivation unit, and the prediction mode determination unit may determine the prediction mode for the current block based on the received prediction mode information, the motion information derivation unit may derive the motion information (the motion vector and/or reference picture index) of the current block based on the information on the received motion information, and the prediction sample derivation unit may derive the predicted samples of the current block. 
     The decoding apparatus generates the residual samples for the current block based on the received residual information (S 830 ). The decoding apparatus may generate the reconstruction samples for the current block based on the prediction samples and the residual samples and generate the reconstruction picture based on the generated reconstruction samples (S 840 ). Thereafter, the in-loop filtering procedure may be further applied to the reconstruction picture as described above. 
       FIG. 9  schematically shows an inter prediction procedure. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , as described above, the inter prediction process may include an inter prediction mode determination step, a motion information derivation step according to the determined prediction mode, and a prediction processing (prediction sample generation) step based on the derived motion information. The inter prediction process may be performed by the encoding apparatus and the decoding apparatus as described above. In this document, a coding device may include the encoding apparatus and/or the decoding apparatus. 
     Referring to  FIG. 9 , the coding apparatus determines an inter prediction mode for the current block (S 900 ). Various inter prediction modes may be used for the prediction of the current block in the picture. For example, various modes, such as a merge mode, a skip mode, a motion vector prediction (MVP) mode, an affine mode, a subblock merge mode, a merge with MVD (MMVD) mode, and a historical motion vector prediction (HMVP) mode may be used. A decoder side motion vector refinement (DMVR) mode, an adaptive motion vector resolution (AMVR) mode, a bi-prediction with CU-level weight (BCW), a bi-directional optical flow (BDOF), and the like may be further used as additional modes. The affine mode may also be referred to as an affine motion prediction mode. The MVP mode may also be referred to as an advanced motion vector prediction (AMVP) mode. In the present document, some modes and/or motion information candidates derived by some modes may also be included in one of motion information-related candidates in other modes. For example, the HMVP candidate may be added to the merge candidate of the merge/skip modes, or also be added to an mvp candidate of the MVP mode. If the HMVP candidate is used as the motion information candidate of the merge mode or the skip mode, the HMVP candidate may be referred to as the HMVP merge candidate. 
     The prediction mode information indicating the inter prediction mode of the current block may be signaled from the encoding apparatus to the decoding apparatus. In this case, the prediction mode information may be included in the bitstream and received by the decoding apparatus. The prediction mode information may include index information indicating one of multiple candidate modes. Alternatively, the inter prediction mode may be indicated through a hierarchical signaling of flag information. In this case, the prediction mode information may include one or more flags. For example, whether to apply the skip mode may be indicated by signaling a skip flag, whether to apply the merge mode may be indicated by signaling a merge flag when the skip mode is not applied, and it is indicated that the MVP mode is applied or a flag for additional distinguishing may be further signaled when the merge mode is not applied. The affine mode may be signaled as an independent mode or signaled as a dependent mode on the merge mode or the MVP mode. For example, the affine mode may include an affine merge mode and an affine MVP mode. 
     The coding apparatus derives motion information for the current block (S 910 ). Motion information derivation may be derived based on the inter prediction mode. 
     The coding apparatus may perform inter prediction using motion information of the current block. The encoding apparatus may derive optimal motion information for the current block through a motion estimation procedure. For example, the encoding apparatus may search a similar reference block having a high correlation in units of a fractional pixel within a predetermined search range in the reference picture by using an original block in an original picture for the current block and derive the motion information through the searched reference block. The similarity of the block may be derived based on a difference of phase based sample values. For example, the similarity of the block may be calculated based on a sum of absolute differences (SAD) between the current block (or a template of the current block) and the reference block (or the template of the reference block). In this case, the motion information may be derived based on a reference block having a smallest SAD in a search area. The derived motion information may be signaled to the decoding apparatus according to various methods based on the inter prediction mode. 
     The coding apparatus performs inter prediction based on motion information for the current block (S 920 ). The coding apparatus may derive prediction sample(s) for the current block based on the motion information. A current block including prediction samples may be referred to as a predicted block. 
     Meanwhile, as described above, the encoding apparatus may perform various encoding methods such as exponential Golomb, context-adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC), and context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). In addition, the decoding apparatus may decode information in a bitstream based on a coding method such as exponential Golomb coding, CAVLC or CABAC, and output a value of a syntax element required for image reconstruction and quantized values of transform coefficients related to residuals. 
     For example, the coding methods described above may be performed as described below. 
       FIG. 10  exemplarily shows context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) for encoding a syntax element. For example, in the CABAC encoding process, when an input signal is a syntax element, rather than a binary value, the encoding apparatus may convert the input signal into a binary value by binarizing the value of the input signal. In addition, when the input signal is already a binary value (i.e., when the value of the input signal is a binary value), binarization may not be performed and may be bypassed. Here, each binary number 0 or 1 constituting a binary value may be referred to as a bin. For example, if a binary string after binarization is 110, each of 1, 1, and 0 is called one bin. The bin(s) for one syntax element may indicate a value of the syntax element. 
     Thereafter, the binarized bins of the syntax element may be input to a regular coding engine or a bypass coding engine. The regular coding engine of the encoding apparatus may allocate a context model reflecting a probability value to the corresponding bin, and may encode the corresponding bin based on the allocated context model. The regular coding engine of the encoding apparatus may update a context model for each bin after performing encoding on each bin. A bin encoded as described above may be referred to as a context-coded bin. 
     Meanwhile, when the binarized bins of the syntax element are input to the bypass coding engine, they may be coded as follows. For example, the bypass coding engine of the encoding apparatus omits a procedure of estimating a probability with respect to an input bin and a procedure of updating a probability model applied to the bin after encoding. When bypass encoding is applied, the encoding apparatus may encode the input bin by applying a uniform probability distribution instead of allocating a context model, thereby improving an encoding rate. The bin encoded as described above may be referred to as a bypass bin. 
     Entropy decoding may represent a process of performing the same process as the entropy encoding described above in reverse order. 
     For example, when a syntax element is decoded based on a context model, the decoding apparatus may receive a bin corresponding to the syntax element through a bitstream, determine a context model using the syntax element and decoding information of a decoding target block or a neighbor block or information of a symbol/bin decoded in a previous stage, predict an occurrence probability of the received bin according to the determined context model, and perform an arithmetic decoding on the bin to derive a value of the syntax element. Thereafter, a context model of a bin which is decoded next may be updated with the determined context model. 
     Also, for example, when a syntax element is bypass-decoded, the decoding apparatus may receive a bin corresponding to the syntax element through a bitstream, and decode the input bin by applying a uniform probability distribution. In this case, the procedure of the decoding apparatus for deriving the context model of the syntax element and the procedure of updating the context model applied to the bin after decoding may be omitted. 
     As described above, residual samples may be derived as quantized transform coefficients through transform and quantization processes. The quantized transform coefficients may also be referred to as transform coefficients. In this case, the transform coefficients in a block may be signaled in the form of residual information. The residual information may include a residual coding syntax. That is, the encoding apparatus may configure a residual coding syntax with residual information, encode the same, and output it in the form of a bitstream, and the decoding apparatus may decode the residual coding syntax from the bitstream and derive residual (quantized) transform coefficients. The residual coding syntax may include syntax elements representing whether transform was applied to the corresponding block, a location of a last effective transform coefficient in the block, whether an effective transform coefficient exists in the subblock, a size/sign of the effective transform coefficient, and the like, as will be described later. 
     For example, the (quantized) transformation coefficients (i.e., the residual information) may be encoded and/or decoded based on syntax elements such as transform_skip_flag, last_sig_coeff_x_prefix, last_sig_coeff_y_prefix, last_sig_coeff_x_suffix, last_sig_coeff_y_suffix, coded_sub_block_flag, sig_coeff_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag, abs_remainder, coeff_sign_flag, dec_abs_level, mts_idx. Syntax elements related to residual data encoding/decoding may be represented as shown in the following table.

     transform_skip_flag indicates whether transform is skipped in an associated block. The transform_skip_flag may be a syntax element of a transform skip flag. The associated block may be a coding block (CB) or a transform block (TB). Regarding transform (and quantization) and residual coding procedures, CB and TB may be used interchangeably. For example, as described above, residual samples may be derived for CB, and (quantized) transform coefficients may be derived through transform and quantization for the residual samples, and through the residual coding procedure, information (e.g., syntax elements) efficiently indicating a position, magnitude, sign, etc. of the (quantized) transform coefficients may be generated and signaled. The quantized transform coefficients may simply be called transform coefficients. In general, when the CB is not larger than a maximum TB, a size of the CB may be the same as a size of the TB, and in this case, a target block to be transformed (and quantized) and residual coded may be called a CB or a TB. Meanwhile, when the CB is greater than the maximum TB, a target block to be transformed (and quantized) and residual coded may be called a TB. Hereinafter, it will be described that syntax elements related to residual coding are signaled in units of transform blocks (TBs) but this is an example and the TB may be used interchangeably with coding blocks (CBs as described above. 
     Meanwhile, syntax elements which are signaled after the transform skip flag is signaled may be the same as the syntax elements disclosed in Table 2 below, and detailed descriptions on the syntax elements are described below.

     According to the present embodiment, as shown in Table 2, residual coding may be divided according to a value of the syntax element transform_skip_flag of the transform skip flag. That is, a different syntax element may be used for residual coding based on the value of the transform skip flag (based on whether the transform is skipped). Residual coding used when the transform skip is not applied (that is, when the transform is applied) may be called regular residual coding (RRC), and residual coding used when the transform skip is applied (that is, when the transform is not applied) may be called transform skip residual coding (TSRC). Also, the regular residual coding may be referred to as general residual coding. Also, the regular residual coding may be referred to as a regular residual coding syntax structure, and the transform skip residual coding may be referred to as a transform skip residual coding syntax structure. Table 3 above may show a syntax element of residual coding when a value of transform_skip_flag is 0, that is, when the transform is applied, and Table 4 above may show a syntax element of residual coding when the value of transform_skip_flag is 1, that is, when the transform is not applied. 
     Specifically, for example, the transform skip flag indicating whether to skip the transform of the transform block may be parsed, and whether the transform skip flag is 1 may be determined. If the value of the transform skip flag is 0, as shown in Table 3, syntax elements last_sig_coeff_x_prefix, last_sig_coeff_y_prefix, last_sig_coeff_x_suffix, last_sig_coeff_y_suffix, sb_coded_flag, sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag, par_level_flag, abs_remainder, coeff_sign_flag and/or dec_abs_level for a residual coefficient of the transform block may be parsed, and the residual coefficient may be derived based on the syntax elements. In this case, the syntax elements may be sequentially parsed, and a parsing order may be changed. In addition, the abs_level_gtx_flag may represent abs_level_gt1_flag, and/or abs_level_gt3_flag. For example, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] may be an example of a first transform coefficient level flag (abs_level_gt1_flag), and the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1] may be an example of a second transform coefficient level flag (abs_level_gt3_flag). 
     Referring to the Table 3 above, last_sig_coeff_x_prefix, last_sig_coeff_y_prefix, last_sig_coeff_x_suffix, last_sig_coeff_y_suffix, sb_coded_flag, sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag, abs_remainder, coeff_sign_flag, and/or dec_abs_level may be encoded/decoded. Meanwhile, sb_coded_flag may be represented as coded_sub_block_flag. 
     In an embodiment, the encoding apparatus may encode (x, y) position information of the last non-zero transform coefficient in a transform block based on the syntax elements last_sig_coeff_x_prefix, last_sig_coeff_y_prefix, last_sig_coeff_x_suffix, and last_sig_coeff_y_suffix. More specifically, the last_sig_coeff_x_prefix represents a prefix of a column position of a last significant coefficient in a scanning order within the transform block, the last_sig_coeff_y_prefix represents a prefix of a row position of the last significant coefficient in the scanning order within the transform block, the last_sig_coeff_x_suffix represents a suffix of a column position of the last significant coefficient in the scanning order within the transform block, and the last_sig_coeff_y_suffix represents a suffix of a row position of the last significant coefficient in the scanning order within the transform block. Here, the significant coefficient may represent a non-zero coefficient. In addition, the scanning order may be a right diagonal scanning order. Alternatively, the scanning order may be a horizontal scanning order or a vertical scanning order. The scanning order may be determined based on whether intra/inter prediction is applied to a target block (a CB or a CB including a TB) and/or a specific intra/inter prediction mode. 
     Thereafter, the encoding apparatus may divide the transform block into 4×4 sub-blocks, and then indicate whether there is a non-zero coefficient in the current sub-block using a 1-bit syntax element coded_sub_block_flag for each 4×4 sub-block. 
     If a value of coded_sub_block_flag is 0, there is no more information to be transmitted, and thus, the encoding apparatus may terminate the encoding process on the current sub-block. Conversely, if the value of coded_sub_block_flag is 1, the encoding apparatus may continuously perform the encoding process on sig_coeff_flag. Since the sub-block including the last non-zero coefficient does not require encoding for the coded_sub_block_flag and the sub-block including the DC information of the transform block has a high probability of including the non-zero coefficient, coded_sub_block_flag may not be coded and a value thereof may be assumed as 1. 
     If the value of coded_sub_block_flag is 1 and thus it is determined that a non-zero coefficient exists in the current sub-block, the encoding apparatus may encode sig_coeff_flag having a binary value according to a reverse scanning order. The encoding apparatus may encode the 1-bit syntax element sig_coeff_flag for each transform coefficient according to the scanning order. If the value of the transform coefficient at the current scan position is not 0, the value of sig_coeff_flag may be 1. Here, in the case of a subblock including the last non-zero coefficient, sig_coeff_flag does not need to be encoded for the last non-zero coefficient, so the coding process for the sub-block may be omitted. Level information coding may be performed only when sig_coeff_flag is 1, and four syntax elements may be used in the level information encoding process. More specifically, each sig_coeff_flag[xC][yC] may indicate whether a level (value) of a corresponding transform coefficient at each transform coefficient position (xC, yC) in the current TB is non-zero. In an embodiment, the sig_coeff_flag may correspond to an example of a syntax element of a significant coefficient flag indicating whether a quantized transform coefficient is a non-zero significant coefficient. 
     A level value remaining after encoding for sig_coeff_flag may be derived as shown in the following equation. That is, the syntax element remAbsLevel indicating a level value to be encoded may be derived from the following equation. 
       remAbsLevel=|coeff|−1  [Equation 1]
 
     Herein, coeff means an actual transform coefficient value. 
     Additionally, abs_level_gt1_flag may indicate whether or not remAbsLevel′ of the corresponding scanning position (n) is greater than 1. For example, when the value of abs_level_gt1_flag is 0, the absolute value of the transform coefficient of the corresponding position may be 1. In addition, when the value of the abs_level_gt1_flag is 1, the remAbsLevel indicating the level value to be encoded later may be updated as shown in the following equation. 
       remAbsLevel=remAbsLevel−1  [Equation 2]
 
     In addition, the least significant coefficient (LSB) value of remAbsLevel described in Equation 2 described above may be encoded as in Equation 3 below through par_level_flag. 
       par_level_flag=|coeff|&amp;1  [Equation 3]
 
     Herein, par_level_flag[n] may indicate a parity of a transform coefficient level (value) at a scanning position n. 
     A transform coefficient level value remAbsLevel that is to be encoded after performing par_level_flag encoding may be updated as shown below in the following equation. 
       remAbsLevel=remAbsLevel&gt;&gt;1  [Equation 4]
 
     abs_level_gt3_flag may indicate whether or not remAbsLevel′ of the corresponding scanning position (n) is greater than 3. Encoding for abs_remainder may be performed only in a case where rem_abs_gt3_flag is equal to 1. A relationship between the actual transform coefficient value coeff and each syntax element may be as shown below in the following equation. 
       |coeff|=sig_coeff_flag+abs_level_gt1_flag+par_level_flag+2*(abs_level_gt3_flag+abs_remainder)  [Equation 5]
 
     Additionally, the following table indicates examples related to the above-described Equation 5.

     Herein, |coeff| indicates a transform coefficient level (value) and may also be indicates as an AbsLevel for a transform coefficient. Additionally, a sign of each coefficient may be encoded by using coeff_sign_flag, which is a 1-bit symbol. 
     Also, if the value of the transform skip flag is 1, as shown in Table 4, syntax elements sb_coded_flag, sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag, par_level_flag and/or abs_remainder for a residual coefficient of the transform block may be parsed, and the residual coefficient may be derived based on the syntax elements. In this case, the syntax elements may be sequentially parsed, and a parsing order may be changed. In addition, the abs_level_gtx_flag may represent abs_level_gt1_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag, abs_level_gt5_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, and/or abs_level_gt9_flag. For example, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][j] may be a flag indicating whether an absolute value or a level (a value) of a transform coefficient at a scanning position n is greater than (j&lt;&lt;1)+1. The condition (j&lt;&lt;1)+1 may be optionally replaced with a specific threshold such as a first threshold, a second threshold, or the like. 
     Meanwhile, CABAC provides high performance, but disadvantageously has poor throughput performance. This is caused by a regular coding engine of the CABAC. Regular encoding (i.e., coding through the regular coding engine of the CABAC) shows high data dependence since it uses a probability state and range updated through coding of a previous bin, and it may take a lot of time to read a probability interval and determine a current state. The throughput problem of the CABAC may be solved by limiting the number of context-coded bins. For example, as shown in Table 1 or Table 3 described above, a sum of bins used to express sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, and abs_level_gt3_flag may be limited to the number of bins depending on a size of a corresponding block. Also, for example, as shown in Table 4 described above, a sum of bins used to express sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag abs_level_gt5_flag, abs_level_gt7_flag, abs_level_gt9_flag may be limited to the number of bins depending on a size of a corresponding block. For example, if the corresponding block is a block of a 4×4 size, the sum of bins for the sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag or sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag abs_level_gt5_flag, abs_level_gt7_flag, abs_level_gt9_flag may be limited to 32 (or ex. 28), and if the corresponding block is a block of a 2×2 size, the sum of bins for the sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag may be limited to 8 (or ex. 7). The limited number of bins may be represented by remBinsPass1 or RemCcbs. Or, for example, for higher CABAC throughput, the number of context coded bins may be limited for a block (CB or TB) including a coding target CG. In other words, the number of context coded bins may be limited in units of blocks (CB or TB). For example, when the size of the current block is 16×16, the number of context coded bins for the current block may be limited to 1.75 times the number of pixels of the current block, i.e., 448, regardless of the current CG. 
     In this case, if all context-coded bins of which the number is limited are used when a context element is coded, the encoding apparatus may binarize the remaining coefficients through a method of binarizing the coefficient as described below, instead of using the context coding, and may perform bypass encoding. In other words, for example, if the number of context-coded bins which are coded for 4×4 CG is 32 (or ex. 28), or if the number of context-coded bins which are coded for 2×2 CG is 8 (or ex. 7), sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gt3_flag which are coded with the context-coded bin may no longer be coded, and may be coded directly to dec_abs_level. Or, for example, when the number of context coded bins coded for a 4×4 block is 1.75 times the number of pixels of the entire block, that is, when limited to 28, the sig_coeff_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, and abs_level_gt3_flag coded as context coded bins may not be coded any more, and may be directly coded as dec_abs_level as shown in Table 6 below.

     A value |coeff| may be derived based on dec_abs_level. In this case, a transform coefficient value, i.e., |coeff|, may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       |coeff|=dec_abs_level  [Equation 6]
 
     In addition, the coeff_sign_flag may indicate a sign of a transform coefficient level at a corresponding scanning position n. That is, the coeff_sign_flag may indicate the sign of the transform coefficient at the corresponding scanning position n. 
       FIG. 11  shows an example of transform coefficients in a 4×4 block. 
     The 4×4 block of  FIG. 11  represents an example of quantized coefficients. The block of  FIG. 11  may be a 4×4 transform block, or a 4×4 sub-block of an 8×8, 16×16, 32×32, or 64×64 transform block. The 4×4 block of  FIG. 11  may represent a luma block or a chroma block. 
     Meanwhile, as described above, when an input signal is not a binary value but a syntax element, the encoding apparatus may transform the input signal into a binary value by binarizing a value of the input signal. In addition, the decoding apparatus may decode the syntax element to derive a binarized value (e.g., a binarized bin) of the syntax element, and may de-binarize the binarized value to derive a value of the syntax element. The binarization process may be performed as a truncated rice (TR) binarization process, a k-th order Exp-Golomb (EGk) binarization process, a limited k-th order Exp-Golomb (limited EGk), a fixed-length (FL) binarization process, or the like. In addition, the de-binarization process may represent a process performed based on the TR binarization process, the EGk binarization process, or the FL binarization process to derive the value of the syntax element. 
     For example, the TR binarization process may be performed as follows. 
     An input of the TR binarization process may be cMax and cRiceParam for a syntax element and a request for TR binarization. In addition, an output of the TR binarization process may be TR binarization for symbolVal which is a value corresponding to a bin string. 
     Specifically, for example, in the presence of a suffix bin string for a syntax element, a TR bin string for the syntax element may be concatenation of a prefix bin string and the suffix bin string, and in the absence of the suffix bin string, the TR bin string for the syntax element may be the prefix bin string. For example, the prefix bin string may be derived as described below. 
     A prefix value of the symbolVal for the syntax element may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       prefixVal=symbolVal&gt;&gt; c RiceParam  [Equation 7]
 
     Herein, prefixVal may denote a prefix value of the symbolVal. A prefix (i.e., a prefix bin string) of the TR bin string of the syntax element may be derived as described below. 
     For example, if the prefixVal is less than cMax&gt;&gt;cRiceParam, the prefix bin string may be a bit string of length prefixVal+1, indexed by binIdx. That is, if the prefixVal is less than cMax&gt;&gt;cRiceParam, the prefix bin string may be a bit string of which the number of bits is prefixVal+1, indicated by binIdx. A bin for binIdx less than prefixVal may be equal to 1. In addition, a bin for the same binIdx as the prefixVal may be equal to 0. 
     For example, a bin string derived through unary binarization for the prefixVal may be as shown in the following table.

     Meanwhile, if the prefixVal is not less than cMax&gt;&gt;cRiceParam, the prefix bin string may be a bit string in which a length is cMax&gt;&gt;cRiceParam and all bits are 1. 
     In addition, if cMax is greater than symbolVal and if cRiceParam is greater than 0, a bin suffix bin string of a TR bin string may be present. For example, the suffix bin string may be derived as described below. 
     A suffix value of the symbolVal for the syntax element may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       suffixVal=symbolVal−((prefixVal)&lt;&lt; c RiceParam)  [Equation 8]
 
     Herein, suffixVal may denote a suffix value of the symbolVal. 
     A suffix of a TR bin string (i.e., a suffix bin string) may be derived based on an FL binarization process for suffixVal of which a value cMax is (1&lt;&lt;cRiceParam)−1. 
     Meanwhile, if a value of an input parameter, i.e., cRiceParam, is 0, the TR binarization may be precisely truncated unary binarization, and may always use the same value cMax as a possible maximum value of a syntax element to be decoded. 
     In addition, for example, the EGk binarization process may be performed as follows. A syntax element coded with ue(v) may be a syntax element subjected to Exp-Golomb coding. 
     For example, a 0-th order Exp-Golomb (EGO) binarization process may be performed as follows. 
     A parsing process for the syntax element may begin with reading a bit including a first non-zero bit starting at a current position of a bitstream and counting the number of leading bits equal to 0. The process may be represented as shown in the following table.

                 leadingZeroBits = −1 
               
               
                   
                   
                 for( b = 0; !b; leadingZeroBits++ ) 
               
               
                   
                   
                  b = read_bits( 1 ) 
               
               
                   
                   
               
            
           
         
       
     
     In addition, a variable ‘codeNum’ may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       codeNum=2 leadingZeroBits −1+read_bits(leadingZeroBits)  [Equation 9]
 
     Herein, a value returned from read_bits(leadingZeroBits), that is, a value indicated by read_bits(leadingZeroBits), may be interpreted as binary representation of an unsigned integer for a most significant bit recorded first. 
     A structure of an Exp-Golomb code in which a bit string is divided into a “prefix” bit and a “suffix” bit may be represented as shown in the following table.

     The “prefix” bit may be a bit parsed as described above to calculate leadingZeroBits, and may be represented by 0 or 1 of a bit string in Table 9. That is, the bit string disclosed by 0 or 1 in Table 9 above may represent a prefix bit string. The “suffix” bit may be a bit parsed in the computation of codeNum, and may be represented by xi in Table 9 above. That is, a bit string disclosed as xi in Table 9 above may represent a suffix bit string. Herein, i may be a value in the range of LeadingZeroBits−1. In addition, each xi may be equal to 0 or 1. 
     A bit string assigned to the codeNum may be as shown in the following table.

     Referring to Table 11 above, a binary value X may be added to an end of a bin string through each call of put(X). Herein, X may be 0 or 1. 
     In addition, for example, the limited EGk binarization process may be performed as follows. 
     An input of the limited EGk binarization process may be a request for limited EGk binarization, a rice parameter riceParam, log 2TransformRange as a variable representing a binary logarithm of a maximum value, and maxPreExtLen as a variable representing a maximum prefix extension length. In addition, an output of the limited EGk binarization process may be limited EGk binarization for symbol Val as a value corresponding to an empty string.

     In addition, for example, the FL binarization process may be performed as follows. 
     An input of the FL binarization process may be a request for FL binarization and cMax for the syntax element. In addition, an output of the FL binarization process may be FL binarization for symbolVal as a value corresponding to a bin string. 
     FL binarization may be configured by using a bit string of which the number of bits has a fixed length of symbolVal. Herein, the fixed-length bit may be an unsigned integer bit string. That is, a bit string for symbolVal as a symbol value may be derived through FL binarization, and a bit length (i.e., the number of bits) of the bit string may be a fixed length. 
     For example, the fixed length may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       fixedLength=Ceil(Log 2( c Max+1))  [Equation 10]
 
     Indexing of bins for FL binarization may be a method using a value which increases orderly from a most significant bit to a least significant bit. For example, a bin index related to the most significant bit may be binIdx=0. 
     Meanwhile, for example, a binarization process for a syntax element abs_remainder in the residual information may be performed as follows. 
     An input of the binarization process for the abs_remainder may be a request for binarization of a syntax element abs_remainder[n], a colour component cIdx, and a luma position (x0, y0). The luma position (x0, y0) may indicate a top-left sample of a current luma transform block based on the top-left luma sample of a picture. 
     An output of the binarization process for the abs_remainder may be binarization of the abs_remainder (i.e., a binarized bin string of the abs_remainder). Available bin strings for the abs_remainder may be derived through the binarization process. 
     A rice parameter cRiceParam for the abs_remainder[n] may be derived through a rice parameter derivation process performed by inputting the color component cIdx and luma position (x0, y0), the current coefficient scan position (xC, yC), log 2TbWidth, which is the binary logarithm of the width of the transform block, and log 2TbHeight, which is the binary logarithm of the height of the transform block. A detailed description of the rice parameter derivation process will be described later. 
     In addition, for example, cMax for abs_remainder[n] to be currently coded may be derived based on the rice parameter cRiceParam. The cMax may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
         c Max=6 &lt;&lt;c RiceParam  [Equation 11]
 
     Meanwhile, binarization for the abs_remainder, that is, a bin string for the abs_remainder, may be concatenation of a prefix bin string and a suffix bin string in the presence of the suffix bin string. In addition, in the absence of the suffix bin string, the bin string for the abs_remainder may be the prefix bin string. 
     For example, the prefix bin string may be derived as described below. 
     A prefix value prefixVal of the abs_remainder[n] may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       prefixVal=Min( c Max,abs_remainder[ n ])  [Equation 12]
 
     A prefix of the bin string (i.e., a prefix bin string) of the abs_remainder[n] may be derived through a TR binarization process for the prefixVal, in which the cMax and the cRiceParam are used as an input. 
     If the prefix bin string is identical to a bit string in which all bits are 1 and a bit length is 6, a suffix bin string of the bin string of the abs_remainder[n] may exist, and may be derived as described below. 
     The rice parameter deriving process for the dec_abs_level[n] may be as follows. 
     An input of the rice parameter deriving process may be a colour component index cIdx, a luma position (x0, y0), a current coefficient scan position (xC, yC), log 2TbWidth as a binary logarithm of a width of a transform block, and log 2TbHeight as a binary logarithm of a height of the transform block. The luma position (x0, y0) may indicate a top-left sample of a current luma transform block based on a top-left luma sample of a picture. In addition, an output of the rice parameter deriving process may be the rice parameter cRiceParam. 
     For example, a variable locSumAbs may be derived similarly to a pseudo code disclosed in the following table, based on an array AbsLevel[x][y] for a transform block having the given component index cIdx and the top-left luma position (x0, y0).

     Also, for example, in the rice parameter derivation process for abs_remainder[n], the baseLevel may be set to 4. 
     Alternatively, for example, the rice parameter cRiceParam may be determined based on whether a transform skip is applied to a current block. That is, if a transform is not applied to a current TB including a current CG, in other words, if the transform skip is applied to the current TB including the current CG, the rice parameter cRiceParam may be derived to be 1. 
     Also, a suffix value suffixVal of the abs_remainder may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       suffixVal=abs_remainder[ n ] c Max  [Equation 13]
 
     A suffix bin string of the bin string of the abs_remainder may be derived through a limited EGk binarization process for the suffixVal in which k is set to cRiceParam+1, riceParam is set to cRiceParam, and log 2TransformRange is set to 15, and maxPreExtLen is set to 11. 
     Meanwhile, for example, a binarization process for a syntax element dec_abs_level in the residual information may be performed as follows. 
     An input of the binarization process for the dec_abs_level may be a request for binarization of a syntax element dec_abs_level[n], a colour component cIdx, a luma position (x0, y0), a current coefficient scan position (xC, yC), log 2TbWidth as a binary logarithm of a width of a transform block, and log 2TbHeight as a binary logarithm of a height of the transform block. The luma position (x0, y0) may indicate a top-left sample of a current luma transform block based on a top-left luma sample of a picture. 
     An output of the binarization process for the dec_abs_level may be binarization of the dec_abs_level (i.e., a binarized bin string of the dec_abs_level). Available bin strings for the dec_abs_level may be derived through the binarization process. 
     A rice parameter cRiceParam for dec_abs_level[n] may be derived through a rice parameter deriving process performed with an input of the colour component cIdx, the luma position (x0, y0), the current coefficient scan position (xC, yC), the log 2TbWidth as the binary logarithm of the width of the transform block, and the log 2TbHeight as the binary logarithm of the height of the transform block. The rice parameter deriving process will be described below in detail. 
     In addition, for example, cMax for the dec_abs_level[n] may be derived based on the rice parameter cRiceParam. The cMax may be derived as shown in the following table. 
         c Max=6 &lt;&lt;c RiceParam  [Equation 14]
 
     Meanwhile, binarization for the dec_abs_level[n], that is, a bin string for the dec_abs_level[n], may be concatenation of a prefix bin string and a suffix bin string in the presence of the suffix bin string. In addition, in the absence of the suffix bin string, the bin string for the dec_abs_level[n] may be the prefix bin string. 
     For example, the prefix bin string may be derived as described below. 
     A prefix value prefixVal of the dec_abs_level[n] may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       prefixVal=Min( c Max,dec_abs_level[ n ])  [Equation 15]
 
     A prefix of the bin string (i.e., a prefix bin string) of the dec_abs_level[n] may be derived through a TR binarization process for the prefixVal, in which the cMax and the cRiceParam are used as an input. 
     If the prefix bin string is identical to a bit string in which all bits are 1 and a bit length is 6, a suffix bin string of the bin string of the dec_abs_level[n] may exist, and may be derived as described below. 
     The rice parameter deriving process for the dec_abs_level[n] may be as follows. 
     An input of the rice parameter deriving process may be a colour component index cIdx, a luma position (x0, y0), a current coefficient scan position (xC, yC), log 2TbWidth as a binary logarithm of a width of a transform block, and log 2TbHeight as a binary logarithm of a height of the transform block. The luma position (x0, y0) may indicate a top-left sample of a current luma transform block based on a top-left luma sample of a picture. In addition, an output of the rice parameter deriving process may be the rice parameter cRiceParam. 
     For example, a variable locSumAbs may be derived similarly to a pseudo code disclosed in the following table, based on an array AbsLevel[x][y] for a transform block having the given component index cIdx and the top-left luma position (x0, y0).

       ZeroPos[ n ]=( Q State&lt;2?1:2)&lt;&lt; c RiceParam  [Equation 16]
 
     In addition, a suffix value suffixVal of the dec_abs_level[n] may be derived as shown in the following equation. 
       suffixVal=dec_abs_level[ n ]− c Max  [Equation 17]
 
     A suffix bin string of the bin string of the dec_abs_level[n] may be derived through a limited EGk binarization process for the suffixVal in which k is set to cRiceParam+1, truncSuffixLen is set to 15, and maxPreExtLen is set to 11. 
     Meanwhile, the RRC and the TSRC may have the following differences.
         For example, in the TSRC, the Rice parameter for the syntax element abs_remainder[ ] may be derived as 1. The rice parameter cRiceParam of the syntax element abs_remainder[ ] in the RRC may be derived based on the lastAbsRemainder and the lastRiceParam as described above, but the rice parameter cRiceParam of the syntax element abs_remainder[ ] in the TSRC may be derived as 1. That is, for example, when transform skip is applied to the current block (e.g., the current TB), the Rice parameter cRiceParam for abs_remainder[ ] of the TSRC for the current block may be derived as 1.   Also, for example, referring to Table 3 and Table 4, in the RRC, abs_levelgtx_flag[n][0] and/or abs_levelgtx_flag[n][1] may be signaled, but in the TSRC, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4] may be signaled. Here, the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] may be expressed as abs_level_gt1_flag or a first coefficient level flag, the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1] may be expressed as abs_level_gt3_flag or a second coefficient level flag, the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2] may be expressed as abs_level_gt5_flag or a third coefficient level flag, the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3] may be expressed as abs_level_gt7_flag or a fourth coefficient level flag, and the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4] may be expressed as abs_level_gt9_flag or a fifth coefficient level flag. Specifically, the first coefficient level flag may be a flag for whether a coefficient level is greater than a first threshold (for example, 1), the second coefficient level flag may be a flag for whether a coefficient level is greater than a second threshold (for example, 3), the third coefficient level flag may be a flag for whether a coefficient level is greater than a third threshold (for example, 5), the fourth coefficient level flag may be a flag for whether a coefficient level is greater than a fourth threshold (for example, 7), the fifth coefficient level flag may be a flag for whether a coefficient level is greater than a fifth threshold (for example, 9). As described above, in the TSRC, compared to the RRC, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4] may be further included.   Also, for example, in the RRC, the syntax element coeff_sign_flag may be bypass coded, but in the TSRC, the syntax element coeff_sign_flag may be bypass coded or context coded.       

     Meanwhile, in residual data coding of a block to which transform skip is applied, that is, a transform skip block, in the case that syntax elements are bypass-coded, the present disclosure proposes a method for coding bypass-coded bins by grouping the bypass-coded bins for each of the syntax elements. 
     As a proposed embodiment, the number of context-coded bins available for residual coding for a transform skip in one TU, that is, the Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC) described above, may be restricted to a specific threshold value, and in the case that all context-coded bins available for the TU are consumed, and later, the syntax elements for the TU are coded as bypass bins, a method is proposed for using a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of exiting coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. 
     Particularly, for example, in the conventional TSRC, coding of syntax elements sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], par_level_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4], and/or abs_remainder are included. The syntax elements described above may be coded in the order as shown in the following drawings. 
       FIG. 12  illustrates an example in which the syntax elements are coded in TSRC. 
     Meanwhile, in the present disclosure, a layer may mean a group/unit in which syntax elements are consecutively coded in a single repetitive statement and may be described in the same meaning in the other elements below. In addition, in  FIG. 12 , “sig” may represent sig_coeff_flag, “sign” may represent coeff_sign_flag, gt0 may represent abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], “par” may represent par_level_flag, gt1 may represent abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], gt2 may represent abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], gt3 may represent abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], gt4 may represent abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4], and “rem” may represent abs_remainder. 
     For example, in the case of TSRC according to the present embodiment shown in  FIG. 12 , syntax elements may be coded in an order in which positions of the coefficients are preferential in a single layer. That is, for example, referring to  FIG. 12 , in the first layer, sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], and par_level_flag for a specific coefficient (e.g., Coeff 0 ) may be coded, and sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], and par_level_flag for the next coefficient (e.g., Coeff 1 ) may be coded. Later, for example, in the second layer, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4] for a specific coefficient (e.g., Coeff 0 ) may be coded, and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4] for the next coefficient (e.g., Coeff 1 ) may be coded. Subsequently, in the third layer, abs_remainder for all coefficients (e.g., from Coeff 0  to Coeff n-1 ) in a subblock may be coded. 
     Meanwhile, in TSRC of VVC standard, as described above, the maximum number of available context-coded bins is restricted to a specific threshold value (e.g., RemCcbs or MaxCcbs represented in Table 4) for residual data coding, and the specific threshold value may be derived based on the number of samples included in a transform block or a width and/or height of a transform block, and the like. For example, the specific threshold value may be derived as represented in the equation below. 
       MaxCcbs= c ×a horizontal side of a transform block×a vertical side of a transform block  [Equation 18]
 
     Here, ‘c’ may represent an arbitrary real value. In the present disclosure, the c value is not limited to a specific value. For example, c may have an integer value such as 2 or a decimal value such as 1.5, 1.75, or 1.25. In addition, for example, a threshold value to restrict the maximum number of available context-coded bins may also be derived based on whether the transform block is a chroma block as well as the number of samples included in a transform block, and a width and/or height of a transform block. In addition, the threshold value (RemCcbs) may be initialized in a unit of transform block, and the threshold value may be decreased as much as the number of context-coded bins used for coding of the syntax element for residual data coding. 
     Meanwhile, in TSRC, syntax elements sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], par_level_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4], and/or abs_remainder may be context-coded but may also be bypass-coded. 
     For example, ctxInc for the syntax elements described above may be allocated as represented in the following table.

     As represented in Table 17, in coding a syntax element sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], par_level_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2], abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3], or abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4], in the case that a threshold value (e.g., RemCcbs or MaxCcbs) is greater than 0, the syntax element may be coded as a context-coded bin, and in the case that a threshold value is less than or equal to 0, the syntax element may be coded as a bypass bin that uses a uniform probability distribution. 
       FIG. 13  illustrates another example in which the syntax elements are coded in TSRC. For example,  FIG. 13  may illustrate the case, after coeff_sign_flag for Coeff 0  is coded as a context-coded bin in coding an arbitrary sub-block/coefficient group in a transform block, a threshold value becomes zero. In this case, referring to  FIG. 13 , the syntax elements coded after the coeff_sign_flag for Coeff 0  including abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] for Coeff 0  may be coded as a bypass bin since a remaining threshold is zero, that is, there is no remaining context-coded bin available. The coding order of the embodiment shown in  FIG. 12  described above may be maintained in the embodiment shown in  FIG. 13  without any change. 
       FIG. 14  illustrates another example in which the syntax elements are coded in TSRC. In addition, for example,  FIG. 14  may illustrate the case, after abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2] for Coeff 0  is coded as a context-coded bin in coding an arbitrary sub-block/coefficient group in a transform block, a threshold value becomes zero. In this case, referring to  FIG. 14 , the syntax elements coded after the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2] for Coeff 0  including abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3] for Coeff 0  may be coded as a bypass bin since a remaining threshold is zero, that is, there is no remaining context-coded bin available. The coding order of the embodiment shown in  FIG. 12  described above may be maintained in the embodiment shown in  FIG. 14  without any change. 
     As described above, in the process of coding TSRC for a block in TSRC, in the case that all available remaining context-coded bins for the block are used, the subsequent syntax element may be bypass-coded. However, in the conventional TSRC, in the case that all available remaining context-coded bins are used and syntax elements are coded as bypass bins, as described above, the syntax elements may be coded in a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. Accordingly, the present disclosure proposes an embodiment of bypass-coded coding syntax elements in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of the exiting coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. Through this, the advantage of a bypass coding engine having high throughput may be maximized, and the residual data coding efficiency of an image may be improved. 
     Particularly, for example, the entropy encoder/entropy decoder may include a binarization unit, a regular coding engine, and a bypass coding engine. For example, a value of a syntax element may be input to the binarization unit. The binarization unit may transform the value of a syntax element to a bin string and output the bin string. Here, the bin string may mean a binary sequence or a binary code composed of one or more bins. The bin may mean, when the value of a symbol and/or a syntax element is represented as a binary sequence (or binary code) through binarization, a value of each digit number (0 or 1) constituting the binary sequence (or binary code). 
     Later, the binarized signal (bin string) may be input to the regular coding engine or the bypass coding engine. The regular coding engine may allocate a context that reflects a probability value for a corresponding bin and code the corresponding bin based on the allocated context. The regular coding engine may perform coding for each bin, and then, update a probability and/or a context for the bin. The bins coded by using the regular coding engine may be referred to as a context-coded bin. 
     Furthermore, the bypass coding engine may bypass the process of updating the probability which was applied to the bin after processing of estimating a probability for an input bin and coding the probability. In a bypass mode, a context is not allocated according to an input bin, but an input bin is simply coded, and throughput may be improved. For example, in the bypass mode, a coding procedure may be performed by applying a uniform probability distribution ( 0 . 5 ). The bins coded by using the bypass coding engine may be referred to as a bypass-coded bin or a bypass bin. 
     Generally, the bypass mode has better throughput performance than the context-coded bin. To code one context-coded bin, 1 or more than 1 processing cycle may be required. However, for the bypass coding engine, only one cycle is required to code n bypass-coded bins. Here, n may be greater than 1. To improve throughput of entropy coding, it may be beneficial to change a coding order (i.e., grouping) such that bypass-coded bins are consecutively coded. Particularly, in the case of grouping bypass-coded bins, it may be beneficial to group the bypass-coded bins for each syntax element in the perspective of throughput and hardware complexity. 
       FIG. 15  illustrates an example of coding syntax elements bypass-coded in TSRC in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. For example,  FIG. 15  may illustrate a case, after coeff_sign_flag for Coeff 0  is coded as a context-coded bin in coding of an arbitrary sub-block/coefficient group in a transform block, a threshold value becomes zero. In this case, referring to  FIG. 15 , the syntax elements coded after the coeff_sign_flag for Coeff 0  including abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] for Coeff 0  may be coded as a bypass bin since a remaining threshold is 0, that is, there is no remaining context-coded bin available. For example, referring to  FIG. 15 , the remaining context elements (abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] and par_level_flag) which are context-coded for Coeff 0  in the first layer may be bypass-coded according to the existing coding order, but later, the syntax elements for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be coded in a syntax element order. In other words, later, sig_coeff_flags for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively, and subsequently, coeff_sign_flags for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively. Next, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0]s for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively, and subsequently, par_level_flags for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively. In addition, for example, referring to  FIG. 15 , for coding syntax elements in the subsequent layer after the first layer, the proposed coding order in which a syntax element is preferential may be maintained. 
       FIG. 16  illustrates an example of coding syntax elements bypass-coded in TSRC in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. For example,  FIG. 16  may illustrate a case, after abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2] for Coeff 0  is coded as context-coded bin in coding of an arbitrary sub-block/coefficient group in a transform block, a threshold value becomes zero. In this case, referring to  FIG. 16 , the syntax elements coded after the abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2] for Coeff 0  including abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3] for Coeff 0  may be coded as a bypass bin since a remaining threshold is 0, that is, there is no remaining context-coded bin available. For example, referring to  FIG. 16 , the remaining context elements (abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3] and abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4]) which are context-coded for Coeff 0  in the second layer may be bypass-coded according to the existing coding order, but later, the syntax elements for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be coded in a syntax element order. In other words, later, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][1]s for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively, and subsequently, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][2]s for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded. Consecutively. Next, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][3]s for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively, and subsequently, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][4]s for coefficients Coeff 1  to Coeff n-1  may be bypass-coded consecutively. In addition, for example, referring to  FIG. 16 , even for coding syntax elements in the subsequent layer after the second layer, the proposed coding order preferential to a syntax element may be maintained. 
     Furthermore, the present disclosure proposes, in the case that syntax elements are bypass-coded in a simplified residual data coding structure, a method for coding bypass-coded bins by grouping the bypass-coded bins for each syntax element. Under a specific condition, there is an advantage in the coding performance perspective such as lossless coding or near-lossless coding, and the simplified residual coding structure may be used for a single coding block or a transform block. In this case, by using the method proposed in the present disclosure, instead of the existing coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential, a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential may be used. 
     In addition, since the number of context-coded bins usable for residual coding in one TU may be restricted to a specific threshold value, in the case that all context-coded bins usable for the TU are consumed and subsequently, the syntax elements for the TU are coded as bypass bins, one embodiment in the present disclosure proposes a method for using a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of the existing coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. Meanwhile, the existing simplified residual data coding structure may be the same as those shown in the following drawings and the description for the drawing. 
       FIG. 17  illustrates an example in which syntax elements are coded in the simplified residual data coding structure. Referring to  FIG. 17 , the existing simplified residual data coding may include coding of syntax elements sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, and abs_remainder.  FIG. 17  may illustrate a syntax element coding order of the simplified residual data coding structure having the existing coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential for one subblock/coefficient group/transform block/coding block. 
     For example, referring to  FIG. 17 , in the first layer, sig_coeff_flag and coeff_sign_flag for a specific coefficient may be coded, sig_coeff_flag and coeff_sign_flag for the next coefficient after the specific coefficient may be coded, and sig_coeff_flag and coeff_sign_flag for the coefficient up to the last coefficient position on a scan order may be coded. Later, in the second layer, coding of abs_remainder for all coefficients in a subblock may be performed in a scan order. Here, in the case that a value of the coefficient of the position is zero, a value of sig_coeff_flag may be zero, and in the case that a value of the coefficient of the position is non-zero, a value of sig_coeff_flag may be 1. In addition, coeff_sign_flag may indicate a sign of the coefficient of the position. For example, in the case that the coefficient of the position is zero, that is, in the case that sig_coeff_flag for the coefficient is zero, coeff_sign_flag for the coefficient may not be coded. Further, in the case that the coefficient is non-zero and a negative number, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is non-zero and a positive number, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). Alternatively, in the case that the coefficient is a negative number without regard to sig_coeff_flag for the coefficient, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is a positive number or zero, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). Alternatively, in the case that the coefficient is a positive number without regard to sig_coeff_flag for the coefficient, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is a negative number or zero, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). 
     Meanwhile, the present disclosure proposes a method for coding and grouping for each syntax element to generate an advantage in CABAC throughput and hardware complexity in the simplified residual data coding structure. 
       FIG. 18  illustrates an example of coding syntax elements bypass-coded in the simplified residual data coding structure in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. For example, according to the present embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 18 , in the first layer, the bypass coding may be consecutively performed from sig_coeff_flag of Coeff 0  to sig_coeff_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in a scan order, and subsequently, consecutively performed from coeff_sign_flag of Coeff 0  to coeff_sign_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. Later, the bypass coding may be consecutively performed from abs_remainder of Coeff 0  to abs_remainder of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. 
     Meanwhile, the simplified residual data coding structure may have a syntax structure different from that shown in  FIG. 17  described above. For example, the simplified residual data coding structure as shown in the following drawing may be coded. 
       FIGS. 19 a  and 19 b    illustrate embodiments in which syntax elements are coded in the simplified residual data coding structure. Referring to  FIGS. 19 a  and 19 b   , the simplified residual data coding may include coding of syntax elements dec_abs_level and coeff_sign_flag.  FIGS. 19 a  and 19 b    may illustrate a syntax element coding order of the simplified residual data coding structure having the existing coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential for one subblock/coefficient group/transform block/coding block. For example, referring to  FIG. 19 a   , in a layer, dec_abs_level and coeff_sign_flag for a specific coefficient may be coded, dec_abs_level and coeff_sign_flag for the next coefficient after the specific coefficient may be coded, and dec_abs_level and coeff_sign_flag for the coefficient up to the last coefficient position on a scan order may be coded. In addition, for example, referring to  FIG. 19 b   , in a layer, coeff_sign_flag and dec_abs_level for a specific coefficient may be coded, coeff_sign_flag and dec_abs_level for the next coefficient after the specific coefficient may be coded, and coeff_sign_flag and dec_abs_level for the coefficient up to the last coefficient position on a scan order may be coded. 
     Here, in the case that a value of the coefficient of the position is zero, a value of dec_abs_level may be zero, and in the case that a value of the coefficient of the position is non-zero, a value of dec_abs_level may be an absolute value of the coefficient. In addition, coeff_sign_flag may indicate a sign of the coefficient of the position. For example, in the case that the coefficient of the position is zero, that is, in the case that dec_abs_level for the coefficient is zero, coeff_sign_flag for the coefficient may not be coded. Further, in the case that the coefficient is non-zero and a negative number, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is non-zero and a positive number, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). Alternatively, in the case that the coefficient is a negative number without regard to dec_abs_level for the coefficient, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is a positive number or zero, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). Alternatively, in the case that the coefficient is a positive number without regard to dec_abs_level for the coefficient, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be 1 (or zero), and in the case that the coefficient is a negative number or zero, the coeff_sign_flag value for the coefficient may be zero (or 1). 
     Meanwhile, the simplified residual data coding structure may be used in the case of satisfying a specific condition in the RRC or TSRC described above. For example, residual data may be coded in the simplified residual data coding structure in the case that a current block is lossless coded or near-lossless coded, or in the case that all available context coded bins are consumed for a current block. 
     For example, the present disclosure proposes, in the case that all available context coded bins for the current block are consumed in the TSRC for a current block, a method for coding the syntax elements of a coefficient for the current block in the simplified residual data coding structure. 
     Particularly, for example, syntax elements according to the TSRC for a current block may be parsed. In this case, the maximum number of context coded bins available for the current block may be derived, and in the case that all the maximum number of context coded bins for the current block are used for coding the syntax elements for previous transform coefficients of a current transform coefficient on a scanning order, the syntax elements for the current transform coefficient and the subsequent transform coefficients of the current transform coefficient on a scanning order may be coded in the simplified residual data coding structure. Accordingly, the syntax elements for the current transform coefficient and the subsequent transform coefficients of the current transform coefficient on a scanning order may include coefficient level information and a sign flag for a transform coefficient. The decoding apparatus may derive the transform coefficient based on the syntax elements for the transform coefficient coded in the simplified residual data coding structure. For example, the coefficient level information may represent an absolute value of a coefficient level of the transform coefficient. Furthermore, the sign flag may represent a sign of the current transform coefficient. The decoding apparatus may derive a coefficient level of the transform coefficient based on the coefficient level information and derive a sign of the transform coefficient based on the sign flag. 
     Meanwhile, to generate an advantage in CABAC throughput and hardware complexity, the present disclosure proposes a method for coding and grouping syntax elements bypass-coded in the simplified residual data coding structure shown in  FIG. 19  for each syntax element. 
       FIGS. 20 a  and 20 b    illustrate an example of coding syntax elements bypass-coded in the simplified residual data coding structure in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. For example, according to the present embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 20 a   , in a layer, bypass coding may be consecutively performed from dec_abs_level of Coeff 0  to dec_abs_level of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in a scan order, and subsequently, consecutively performed from coeff_sign_flag of Coeff 0  to coeff_sign_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. Alternatively, for example, according to the present embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 20 b   , in a layer, the bypass coding may be consecutively performed from coeff_sign_flag of Coeff 0  to coeff_sign_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in a scan order, and subsequently, consecutively performed from dec_abs_level of Coeff 0  to dec_abs_level of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. According to the present embodiment, bypass-coded bins may be grouped for each syntax element and consecutively coded, and an effect may be generated such as throughput of entropy coding may be improved, and hardware complexity may be reduced. 
     Meanwhile, the simplified residual data coding structure may have a syntax structure different from those of shown in  FIG. 17 ,  FIG. 19 a   , and  FIG. 19 b    described above. For example, the simplified residual data coding structure as shown in the following drawing may be coded. 
       FIG. 21  illustrates embodiments in which syntax elements are coded in the simplified residual data coding structure. Referring to  FIG. 21 , simplified residual data coding may include coding of syntax elements sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], par_level_flag, and abs_remainder.  FIG. 21  may illustrate a syntax element coding order of the simplified residual data coding structure having the existing coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential for one subblock/coefficient group/transform block/coding block. For example, referring to  FIG. 21 , in the first layer, sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], and par_level_flag for a specific coefficient may be coded, sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], and par_level_flag for the next coefficient after the specific coefficient may be coded, and sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0], and par_level_flag for the coefficient up to the last coefficient position on a scan order may be coded. Later, in the second layer, coding of abs_remainder for all coefficients in a subblock may be performed in a scan order. 
     Meanwhile, to generate an advantage in CABAC throughput and hardware complexity, the present disclosure proposes a method for coding and grouping syntax elements bypass-coded in the simplified residual data coding structure shown in  FIG. 21  for each syntax element. 
       FIG. 22  illustrates an example of coding syntax elements bypass-coded in the simplified residual data coding structure in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential instead of a coding order in which a coefficient position is preferential. For example, according to the present embodiment, as shown in  FIG. 22 , in the first layer, the bypass coding may be consecutively performed from sig_coeff_flag of Coeff 0  to sig_coeff_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in a scan order, subsequently, consecutively performed from coeff_sign_flag of Coeff 0  to coeff_sign_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order, subsequently, consecutively performed from abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] of Coeff 0  to abs_level_gtx_flag[n][0] of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order, and subsequently, consecutively performed from par_level_flag of Coeff 0  to par_level_flag of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. Later, in the second layer, the bypass coding may be consecutively performed from abs_remainder of Coeff 0  to abs_remainder of Coeff n-1 , the last coefficient in the scan order. According to the present embodiment, bypass-coded bins may be grouped for each syntax element and consecutively coded, and an effect may be generated such as throughput of entropy coding may be improved, and hardware complexity may be reduced. 
       FIG. 23  briefly illustrates an image encoding method performed by an encoding apparatus according to the present disclosure. The method proposed in  FIG. 23  may be performed by the encoding apparatus disclosed in  FIG. 2 . Particularly, for example, step S 2300  shown in  FIG. 23  may be performed by the predictor of the encoding apparatus, steps S 2310  and S 2320  shown in  FIG. 23  may be performed by the residual processor of the encoding apparatus, and step S 2330  shown in  FIG. 23  may be performed by the entropy encoder of the encoding apparatus. In addition, although it is not shown in the drawing, a process of generating a reconstructed sample and a reconstructed picture for the current block based on the residual sample and the prediction sample for the current block may be performed by the adder of the encoding apparatus. 
     The encoding apparatus derives prediction samples of a current block based on an inter prediction or an intra prediction (step S 2300 ). The encoding apparatus may derive prediction samples of the current block based on a prediction mode. In this case, various prediction method disclosed in the present disclosure such as the inter prediction or the intra prediction may be applied. 
     For example, the encoding apparatus may determine whether an inter prediction or an intra prediction is performed to the current block and determine a specific inter prediction mode or a specific intra prediction mode based on an RD cost. According to the determined mode, the encoding apparatus may derive prediction samples for the current block. 
     The encoding apparatus derives residual samples of the current block based on the prediction samples (step S 2310 ). For example, the encoding apparatus may derive the residual samples of the current block through a subtraction between the original samples and the prediction samples for the current block. 
     The encoding apparatus derives transform coefficients of the current block based on the residual samples (step S 2320 ). For example, the encoding apparatus may derive the transform coefficients of the current block based on the residual samples. For example, the encoding apparatus may determine whether a transform is applied to the current block. That is, the encoding apparatus may determine whether a transform is applied to the residual samples of the current block. The encoding apparatus may determine whether a transform is applied to the current block considering a coding efficiency. For example, the encoding apparatus may determine that a transform is not applied to the current block. The block to which a transform is not applied may be referred to as a transform skip block. That is, for example, the current block may be a transform skip block. 
     When a transform is not applied to the current block, that is, when a transform is not applied to the residual samples, the encoding apparatus may derive the derived residual samples as the transform coefficients. In addition, when a transform is applied to the current block, that is, when a transform is applied to the residual samples, the encoding apparatus may derive the transform coefficients by performing a transform for the residual samples. The current block may include a plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups (CGs). In addition, a size of the subblock of the current block may be a 4×4 size or 2×2 size. That is, the subblock of the current block may include a maximum of 16 non-zero transform coefficients or a maximum of 4 non-zero transform coefficients. 
     Here, the current block may be a coding block (CB) or a transform block (TB). In addition, the transform coefficient may also be represented as a residual coefficient. 
     The encoding apparatus encodes image information including prediction mode information of the current block and the residual information for the transform coefficients (step S 2330 ). The encoding apparatus may encode the image information including the prediction mode information that represents a prediction mode of the current block and the residual information for the transform coefficients. For example, the encoding apparatus may generate and encode prediction related information of the current block. The prediction related information may include the prediction mode information. 
     In addition, for example, the residual information may include the syntax elements of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC) for the transform coefficients of the current block. For example, the encoding apparatus may generate and encode the syntax elements of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC) for the transform coefficients of the current block. For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure of the TSRC and the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure of the TSRC. 
     For example, the encoding apparatus may generate and encode the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient. The residual information of the current block may include the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block. 
     For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block. Here, for example, the syntax elements may be syntax elements according to a first residual data coding structure of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC). The syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may include context-coded syntax elements and/or bypass-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient. The syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may include syntax elements such as sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gtX_flag, abs_remainder, and/or coeff_sign_flag. 
     For example, the context-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient may include a significant coefficient flag indicating whether the transform coefficient is a non-zero transform coefficient, a sign flag indicating a sign for the transform coefficient, a first coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a first threshold value, and/or a parity level flag for a parity of a coefficient level for the transform coefficient. In addition, for example, the context-coded syntax elements may include a second coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a second threshold value, a third coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a third threshold value, a fourth coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a fourth threshold value, and/or a fifth coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a fifth threshold value. Here, the significant coefficient flag may be sig_coeff_flag, the sign flag may be ceff_sign_flag, the first coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt1_flag, and the parity level flag may be par_level_flag. Furthermore, the second coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt3_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, the third coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt5_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, the fourth coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt1_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, and the fifth coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt9_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag. 
     In addition, for example, the bypass-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient may include coefficient level information for a value (or coefficient level) of the transform coefficient and/or a sign flag indicating a sign for the transform coefficient. The coefficient level information may be abs_remainder and/or dec_abs_level, and the sign flag may be ceff_sign_flag. 
     Furthermore, the number of context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient may be the same as the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block. That is, for example, all the context-coded bins for the current block may be used as bins of the context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient. For example, the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block may be derived based on a width and a height of the current block. For example, the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block may be derived as a value of the number of samples of the current block multiplied by a specific value. Here, the number of samples may be derived as a value of multiplying a width and a height of the current block. In addition, the specific value may have an integer value such as 2 or a decimal value such as 1.5, 1.75, or 1.25. 
     Meanwhile, for example, the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a coefficient position. The coding order according to a coefficient position may be a scanning order of the transform coefficients. For example, the scanning order may be a raster scan order. For example, the raster scan order may represent the order of scanning sequentially from a top line downwardly and scanning from left to right in each line. For example, the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may be coded in an order from the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the syntax elements for the n-th transform coefficient. In addition, for example, when the current block includes a plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups (CGs), the plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups may be coded in the scanning order, and the syntax elements for transform coefficients in each subblock or the coefficient group may be coded in the scanning order. 
     Meanwhile, for example, the residual information may include a transform skip flag for the current block. The transform skip flag may indicate whether a transform is applied to the current block. That is, the transform skip flag may indicate whether a transform is applied to the transform coefficients of the current block. The syntax element indicating the transform skip flag may be transform_skip_flag described above. For example, when a value of the transform skip flag is zero, the transform skip flag may represent that a transform is not applied to the current block, and when a value of the transform skip flag is 1, the transform skip flag may represent that a transform is applied to the current block. For example, when the current block is a transform skip block, a value of the transform skip flag for the current block may be 1. 
     In addition, the encoding apparatus may generate and encode the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block. 
     For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block. Here, for example, the syntax element may be syntax elements according to a second residual data coding structure of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC). The syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be referred to as the syntax elements according to the simplified residual data coding structure. For example, when all context-coded bins for the current block are used as bins of the context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient, that is, for example, when the number of context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient is equal to or greater than the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block, the encoding apparatus may generate and encode the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block, which are the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure of TSRC. 
     For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include bypass-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include coefficient level information and a sign flag for the transform coefficient. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include coefficient level information for an absolute value of a coefficient level of the transform coefficient and a sign flag for a sign of the transform coefficient. The syntax elements for the transform coefficient may be coded based on a bypass. That is, the residual syntax elements for the transform coefficient may be coded based on a uniform probability distribution. For example, the coefficient level information may represent an absolute value of a coefficient level of the transform coefficient. In addition, the sign flag may represent a sign of the transform coefficient. For example, when a value of the sign flag is zero, the sign flag may indicate that a coefficient level of the transform coefficient is a positive value, and when a value of the sign flag is 1, the sign flag may indicate that a coefficient level of the transform coefficient is a negative value. The coefficient level information may be abs_remainder described above, and the sign flag may be coeff_sign_flag described above. 
     Meanwhile, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a coefficient position. The coding order according to a coefficient position may be a scanning order of the transform coefficients. For example, the scanning order may be a raster scan order. For example, the raster scan order may represent the order of scanning sequentially from a top line downwardly and scanning from left to right in each line. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in an order from the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient. In addition, for example, when the current block includes a plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups (CGs), the plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups may be coded in the scanning order, and the syntax elements for transform coefficients in each subblock or the coefficient group may be coded in the scanning order. 
     In addition, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a syntax element. That is, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential. For example, coefficient level information for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient may be coded, and thereafter, sign flags for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient may be coded. Particularly, for example, the coefficient level information may be coded in an order from the coefficient level information for the n+1th transform coefficient to the coefficient level information for the last transform coefficient, and later, the sign flags may be coded in an order from the sign flag for the n+1th transform coefficient to the sign flag for the last transform coefficient. 
     For example, the encoding apparatus may encode the image information including the prediction mode information and the residual information and output the image information in a bitstream format. The bitstream may be transmitted to the decoding apparatus through a network or a storage medium. 
     Meanwhile, the bitstream may be transmitted to the decoding apparatus through over a network or a (digital) storage medium. Here, the network may include a broadcasting network and/or a communication network, and the digital storage medium may include various storage media such as USB, SD, CD, DVD, Blu-ray, HDD, SSD, and the like. 
       FIG. 24  briefly illustrates an encoding apparatus for performing an image encoding method according to the present disclosure. The method proposed in  FIG. 23  may be performed by the encoding apparatus disclosed in  FIG. 24 . Particularly, for example, the predictor of the encoding apparatus shown in  FIG. 24  may perform step S 2300  shown in  FIG. 23 , the residual processor of the encoding apparatus shown in  FIG. 24  may perform steps S 2310  and S 2320  shown in  FIG. 23 , and the entropy encoder of the encoding apparatus shown in  FIG. 24  may perform step S 2330  shown in  FIG. 23 . In addition, although it is not shown in the drawing, a process of generating a reconstructed sample and a reconstructed picture for the current block based on the residual sample and the prediction sample for the current block may be performed by the adder of the encoding apparatus. 
       FIG. 25  briefly illustrates an image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus according to the present disclosure. The method proposed in  FIG. 25  may be performed by the decoding apparatus disclosed in  FIG. 3 . Particularly, for example, step S 2500  shown in  FIG. 25  may be performed by the entropy decoder of the decoding apparatus, steps S 2510  and S 2520  shown in  FIG. 25  may be performed by the predictor of the decoding apparatus, step S 2530  shown in  FIG. 25  may be performed by the residual processor of the decoding apparatus, and step S 2540  shown in  FIG. 25  may be performed by the adder of the decoding apparatus. 
     The decoding apparatus obtains image information including prediction mode information and residual information of a current block (step S 2500 ). The decoding apparatus may obtain the image information including the prediction mode information and the residual information of the current block. For example, the image information may include the prediction mode information for the current block. For example, the image information may include prediction related information for the current block, and the prediction related information may include the prediction mode information. The prediction mode information may represent whether an inter prediction or an intra prediction is applied to the current block. 
     In addition, for example, the image information may include residual information for the current block. The decoding apparatus may obtain the image information including the residual information for the current block. 
     The residual information may include the syntax elements for a transform coefficient of the current block. Here, the current block may be a coding block (CB) or a transform block (TB). In addition, the transform coefficient may also be represented as a residual coefficient. In addition, for example, the current block may be a transform skip block. 
     For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block and the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block. In this case, for example, the number of context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient may be the same as the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block. That is, for example, the context-coded bins for the current block may be all used as bins of the context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient. For example, the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block may be derived based on a width and a height of the current block. For example, the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block may be derived as a value of the number of samples of the current block multiplied by a specific value. Here, the number of samples may be derived as a value of multiplying a width and a height of the current block. In addition, the specific value may have an integer value such as 2 or a decimal value such as 1.5, 1.75, or 1.25. 
     Particularly, for example, the decoding apparatus may obtain the syntax elements for the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block. For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements for the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block. Here, the syntax elements may be the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC). The syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may include context-coded syntax elements and/or bypass-coded syntax elements for a transform coefficient. The syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may include the syntax elements such as sig_coeff_flag, coeff_sign_flag, abs_level_gt1_flag, par_level_flag, abs_level_gtX_flag, abs_remainder, and/or coeff_sign_flag. 
     For example, the context-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient may include a significant coefficient flag indicating whether the transform coefficient is a non-zero transform coefficient, a sign flag indicating a sign for the transform coefficient, a first coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a first threshold value, and/or a parity level flag for a parity of a coefficient level for the transform coefficient. In addition, for example, the context-coded syntax elements may include a second coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a second threshold value, a third coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a third threshold value, a fourth coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a fourth threshold value, and/or a fifth coefficient level flag for whether a coefficient level for the transform coefficient is greater than a fifth threshold value. Here, the significant coefficient flag may be sig_coeff_flag, the sign flag may be ceff_sign_flag, the first coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt1_flag, and the parity level flag may be par_level_flag. Furthermore, the second coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt3_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, the third coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt5_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, the fourth coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt1_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag, and the fifth coefficient level flag may be abs_level_gt9_flag or abs_level_gtx_flag. 
     In addition, for example, the bypass-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient may include coefficient level information for a value (or coefficient level) of the transform coefficient and/or a sign flag indicating a sign for the transform coefficient. The coefficient level information may be abs_remainder and/or dec_abs_level, and the sign flag may be ceff_sign_flag. 
     Meanwhile, for example, the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a coefficient position. The coding order according to a coefficient position may be a scanning order of the transform coefficients. For example, the scanning order may be a raster scan order. For example, the raster scan order may represent the order of scanning sequentially from a top line downwardly and scanning from left to right in each line. For example, the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure may be coded in an order from the syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the syntax elements for the n-th transform coefficient. In addition, for example, when the current block includes a plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups (CGs), the plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups may be coded in the scanning order, and the syntax elements for transform coefficients in each subblock or the coefficient group may be coded in the scanning order. 
     In addition, for example, the residual information may include a transform skip flag for the current block. The transform skip flag may indicate whether a transform is applied to the current block. That is, the transform skip flag may indicate whether a transform is applied to the transform coefficients of the current block. The syntax element indicating the transform skip flag may be transform_skip_flag described above. For example, when a value of the transform skip flag is zero, the transform skip flag may represent that a transform is not applied to the current block, and when a value of the transform skip flag is 1, the transform skip flag may represent that a transform is applied to the current block. For example, when the current block is a transform skip block, a value of the transform skip flag for the current block may be 1. 
     In addition, for example, the decoding apparatus may obtain syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block. For example, the residual information may include the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block. That is, for example, the syntax element may be syntax elements according to a second residual data coding structure of Transform Skip Residual Coding (TSRC). The syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be referred to as the syntax elements according to the simplified residual data coding structure. For example, when context-coded bins for the current block are all used as bins of the context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient, that is, for example, when the number of context-coded syntax elements for the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient is equal to or greater than the maximum number of context-coded bins of the current block, the decoding apparatus may obtain the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient of the current block, which are the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure of TSRC. 
     For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include bypass-coded syntax elements for the transform coefficient. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include coefficient level information and a sign flag for the transform coefficient. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may include coefficient level information for an absolute value of a coefficient level of the transform coefficient and a sign flag for a sign of the transform coefficient. The syntax elements for the transform coefficient may be coded based on a bypass. That is, the residual syntax elements for the transform coefficient may be coded based on a uniform probability distribution. For example, the coefficient level information may represent an absolute value of a coefficient level of the transform coefficient. In addition, the sign flag may represent a sign of the transform coefficient. For example, when a value of the sign flag is zero, the sign flag may indicate that a coefficient level of the transform coefficient is a positive value, and when a value of the sign flag is 1, the sign flag may indicate that a coefficient level of the transform coefficient is a negative value. The coefficient level information may be abs_remainder described above, and the sign flag may be coeff_sign_flag described above. 
     Meanwhile, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a coefficient position. The coding order according to a coefficient position may be a scanning order of the transform coefficients. For example, the scanning order may be a raster scan order. For example, the raster scan order may represent the order of scanning sequentially from a top line downwardly and scanning from left to right in each line. For example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in an order from the syntax elements for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient. In addition, for example, when the current block includes a plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups (CGs), the plurality of subblocks or coefficient groups may be coded in the scanning order, and the syntax elements for transform coefficients in each subblock or the coefficient group may be coded in the scanning order. 
     In addition, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order according to a syntax element. That is, for example, the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure may be coded in a coding order in which a syntax element is preferential. For example, coefficient level information for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient may be coded, and thereafter, sign flags for the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient may be coded. Particularly, for example, the coefficient level information may be coded in an order from the coefficient level information for the n+1th transform coefficient to the coefficient level information for the last transform coefficient, and later, the sign flags may be coded in an order from the sign flag for the n+1th transform coefficient to the sign flag for the last transform coefficient. 
     The decoding apparatus derives a prediction mode of the current block based on the prediction mode information (step S 2510 ). The decoding apparatus may determine whether an inter prediction or an intra prediction is applied to the current block based on the prediction mode information and perform a prediction based on the determination. 
     The decoding apparatus derives prediction samples of the current block based on the prediction mode (step S 2520 ). For example, the decoding apparatus may derive a prediction mode applied to the current block based on the prediction mode information and derive the prediction samples of the current block based on the prediction mode. For example, when an inter prediction is applied to the current block, the decoding apparatus may derive motion information of the current block based on the prediction mode information included in the image information and derive the prediction samples of the current block based on the motion information. In addition, for example, when an intra prediction is applied to the current block, the decoding apparatus may derive a reference sample based on a neighboring sample of the current block and derive a prediction sample of the current block based on the intra prediction mode. The reference samples for the current block may include top reference samples and left reference samples of the current block. For example, when a size of the current block is N×N, an x component of a top-left sample position of the current block is 0, and a y component of a top-left sample position of the current block is 0, the left reference samples may be p[−1][0] to p[−1][2N−1], and the top reference samples may be p[0][−1] to p[2N−1][−1]. 
     The decoding apparatus derives residual samples of the current block based on the residual information (step S 2530 ). The decoding apparatus may derive the residual samples of the current block based on the residual information. 
     For example, the decoding apparatus may derive the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure and the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure. 
     For example, the decoding apparatus may derive the first transform coefficient to the n-th transform coefficient of the current block based on the syntax elements according to the first residual data coding structure. 
     In addition, for example, the decoding apparatus may derive the n+1th transform coefficient to the last transform coefficient based on the syntax elements according to the second residual data coding structure. For example, the coefficient level for the transform coefficient may be derived as a value represented by the coefficient level information, and the sign of the transform coefficient may be derived as a sign represented by the sign flag. In this case, for example, the transform coefficient may be derived without performing level mapping. 
     Later, for example, the decoding apparatus may derive residual samples of the current block based on the transform coefficients. In one example, when it is derived that a transform is not applied to the current block based on the transform skip flag, that is, when a value of the transform skip flag is 1, the decoding apparatus may derive the transform coefficients as derive the residual samples of the current block. Alternatively, for example, when it is derived that a transform is not applied to the current block based on the transform skip flag, that is, when a value of the transform skip flag is 1, the decoding apparatus may derive the residual samples of the current block by dequantizing the transform coefficients. Alternatively, for example, when it is derived that a transform is applied to the current block based on the transform skip flag, that is, when a value of the transform skip flag is zero, the decoding apparatus may derive the residual samples of the current block by inverse-transforming the transform coefficients. Alternatively, for example, when it is derived that a transform is applied to the current block based on the transform skip flag, that is, when a value of the transform skip flag is zero, the decoding apparatus may derive the residual samples of the current block by dequantizing the transform coefficients and inverse-transforming the dequantized transform coefficients. 
     The decoding apparatus generates reconstructed samples of the current block based on the prediction samples and the residual samples (step S 2540 ). For example, the decoding apparatus may generate the reconstructed samples and/or the reconstructed picture of the current block based on the prediction samples and the residual samples. For example, the decoding apparatus generate the reconstructed samples through an addition of the prediction samples and the residual samples. 
     Later, as occasion demands, in order to improve subjective/objective image quality, the decoding apparatus may apply the in-loop filtering process such as deblocking filtering, SAO and/or ALF process to the reconstructed picture as described above.
