1. A method of decoding an image, the method comprising:
determining a non-zeroed region within a current block;
partitioning the non-zeroed region into transform coefficient groups after determining the non-zeroed region within the current block; and
decoding a transform coefficient on the per transform coefficient group basis,
wherein a size of each of the transform coefficient groups is determined based on a width and a height of the non-zeroed region, and
wherein, for the non-zeroed region of which width or height is smaller than a first predefined size, a shape of each of the transform coefficient groups is determined to be a non-square shape having a second predefined size, when an area of the non-zeroed region is larger than a predefined area and a shape of the non-zeroed region is a non-square shape, and
wherein, for the non-zeroed region of which width and height is larger than the first predefined size, each of the transform coefficient groups is determined to have a third predefined size which is different from the second fifth predefined size.
