1. An image decoding method performed by a decoding apparatus, the method comprising:
obtaining a bitstream for a Coded Video Sequence (CVS) including a Coded Video Sequence Start (CVSS) Access Unit (AU);
deriving image information on a current picture of the CVSS AU based on the bitstream; and
decoding the current picture based on the image information,
wherein the CVSS AU includes only a Picture Unit (PU) for an output layer of an Output Layer Set (OLS) of the CVS,
wherein the CVSS AU includes a PU for an independent layer of the OLS, and
wherein a first PU of a specific layer, which corresponds to a layer having no PU in the CVSS AU, in a specific AU following the CVSS AU in a decoding order is an Intra Random Access Point (IRAP) PU based on the CVSS AU being an IRAP AU including the layer having no PU or a Gradual Decoding Refresh (GDR) PU based on the CVSS AU being a GDR AU including the layer having no PU.
