This application discloses a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for setting up a tilting camera, including: determining a target imaging angle based on a preset shooting distance, a preset tilt angle, and an imaging angle
algorithm; the preset shooting distance includes a near-end shooting distance and a far-end shooting distance; calculating the near-end imaging distance and the far-end imaging
distance based on the near-end shooting distance, the far-end shooting distance, the target imaging angle, the preset tilt angle, and a preset imaging formula; determining a near-end imaging point on the camera's
optical axis based on the near-end imaging distance, and determining a far-end imaging point based on the far-end imaging distance, the near-end imaging point, and the target imaging angle; determining the imaging image composed of the near-end imaging point and the far-end imaging point, and the target
focal length corresponding to the imaging image; and setting the camera's
focal length to the target
focal length for
image capture. This achieves simultaneous
clarity of both near-end and far-end text in the image, reduces the requirements for camera
depth of field, and improves the accuracy of
optical character recognition.
