1. An apparatus for graphics processing, comprising:
a memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
select at least one image in at least one first frame of a plurality of frames based on application data, wherein the at least one image is associated with a geometry buffer of the at least one first frame;
perform a color analysis on the at least one first frame of the plurality of frames, wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform the color analysis further based on the selected at least one image in the at least one first frame;
generate a frequency map for at least one second frame of the plurality of frames based on the performed color analysis; and
render the at least one second frame based on the frequency map for the at least one second frame, wherein the at least one processor is configured to render the at least one second frame after the at least one first frame.
