16. An apparatus for processing image data, the apparatus comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to:
detect a start of a readout period of an image sensor;
obtain, based on the detected start of the readout period of the image sensor, a first plurality of votes associated with a plurality of components sharing a power source;
increase a clock rate and a voltage for the power source based on the first plurality of votes to produce an updated clock rate and an updated voltage for an image processor; and
apply the updated clock rate and the updated voltage to the image processor for processing frame data output during the readout period of the image sensor.
