1. An encoding method, comprising:
generating a latent vector using an input image;
generating a selected latent vector component set using the latent vector; and
generating a main bitstream by performing entropy encoding on the selected latent vector component set, wherein
the main bitstream comprises information to generate a reconstructed image,
the reconstructed image is generated using a recombined latent vector which is generated by determining values of one or more redundant latent vector components of the latent vector, and
the one or more redundant latent vector components are remaining latent vector components, other than the selected latent vector components, among all latent vector components of the latent vector.
