An apparatus for scaling images includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable storage media on which computer-executable instructions are stored. The computer-executable instructions, upon being executed by the one or more processors, provide for execution of the following steps: capturing one or more first images by an imaging and/or image recording system, wherein the one or more captured first images are related to a first resolution; and generating, by a neural network, one or more corresponding second images based on one or more captured first images, wherein the one or more second images are related to a second resolution, the first resolution differing from the second resolution.
