A decoding method includes: obtaining a plurality of quantization parameter sets from a header of a coded stream; parsing an identifier from a header of a coded picture included in the coded stream; selecting at least one quantization parameter set from among the plurality of quantization parameter sets, based on the parsed identifier; determining whether a flag parsed from the header of the coded picture has a predetermined value; generating a new quantization matrix from another quantization matrix when the flag has the predetermined value; decoding the coded picture by inversely quantizing the coded picture using the generated new quantization matrix; and decoding the coded picture by inversely quantizing the coded picture using a quantization matrix included in the selected quantization parameter set when the flag does not have the predetermined value.
