contents Existing 3DGS methods effectively render high-quality novel views in clear-day scenes. However, they struggle with night scenes, particularly in glow regions, due to the lack of structural features such as textures and edges, which are key cues for splatting-based reconstruction. To address this problem, we leverage a diffusion model and a Vision Foundation Model (VFM) to compensate for missing structural cues. Our method consists of two key novel ideas: semantic feature generation and novel-view semantic learning. First, semantic feature generation produces high-quality semantic features as implicit structural cues for novel views. Specifically, a diffusion model synthesizes novel views with unknown camera poses from training views, while a VFM evaluates their quality. Once high-quality novel views are identified, the VFM extracts robust features to construct the semantic feature bank. Second, novel-view semantic learning enables 3DGS to optimize rendered novel views without requiring ground truth. It achieves this by extracting semantic features from a rendered novel view, searching the feature bank for the most similar features, and minimizing their distance. This process enforces implicit structural constraints, ensuring semantically coherent, artifact-free rendered views. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our GlowGS in generating semantically accurate 3D views, showing significant improvements over existing methods.
