To address the problem that the limited field of view of single camera of widely deployed highway surveillance cameras makes it difficult to achieve large-scale continuous perception, a cross-camera Bird’s-Eye View (BEV) road geometric alignment task was proposed to improve scene consistency and completeness. However, this task faces challenges due to the perspective differences and structural misalignments among multi-camera images. The horizon, as a global geometric prior, can unify these perspective differences, but its detection is easily affected by occlusion and environments, limiting alignment accuracy. To solve this problem, a horizon detection method for cross-camera BEV road alignment, named RoadHoriNet (Road Horizon detection Network), was proposed. Firstly, perspective transformation and bounding box cropping were applied for data augmentation. Secondly, a diamond space representation was introduced to alleviate instability in vanishing-point learning. Thirdly, Receptive-Field Attention Convolution (RFAConv) and upsampling by Dynamic Sampling (DySample) were used to enhance feature representation and reconstruction accuracy. Finally, a geometric consistency loss function was designed to enhance the constraints of the orientation and position of horizon detection. Experimental results demonstrate that on the BrnoCompSpeed dataset, RoadHoriNet achieves a pixel error of 5.166%, an angle error of 0.032 5°, and a detection accuracy of 94.834%, while reducing the pixel error by 4.815 percentage points and the angle error by 0.019 4° compared with the adaptive horizon detection method. In the task of cross-camera BEV road geometry alignment, the relative alignment accuracy of RoadHoriNet reaches at least 99.129% after being corrected by the RoadHoriNet method, demonstrating its practicality and generalization potential in real-world traffic environments. It can be seen that RoadHoriNet provides a stable geometric prior for camera pose normalization and multi-camera coordinate unification, improving the relative alignment accuracy and robustness of cross-camera BEV road geometric alignment significantly.
