contents Low-light conditions severely hinder 3D restoration and reconstruction by degrading image visibility, introducing color distortions, and contaminating geometric priors for downstream optimization. We present NAKA-GS, a bionics-inspired framework for low-light 3D Gaussian Splatting that jointly improves photometric restoration and geometric initialization. Our method starts with a Naka-guided chroma-correction network, which combines physics-prior low-light enhancement, dual-branch input modeling, frequency-decoupled correction, and mask-guided optimization to suppress bright-region chromatic artifacts and edge-structure errors. The enhanced images are then fed into a feed-forward multi-view reconstruction model to produce dense scene priors. To further improve Gaussian initialization, we introduce a lightweight Point Preprocessing Module (PPM) that performs coordinate alignment, voxel pooling, and distance-adaptive progressive pruning to remove noisy and redundant points while preserving representative structures. Without introducing heavy inference overhead, NAKA-GS improves restoration quality, training stability, and optimization efficiency for low-light 3D reconstruction. The proposed method was presented in the NTIRE 3D Restoration and Reconstruction (3DRR) Challenge, and outperformed the baseline methods by a large margin.
