The general way is to compute the glare by arythmetic solver - just compute 
glare value of X,Y and Z (or may be, glare value 
by spectrum bands) based on known target values. When the glare value is 
computed correctly, the profile dE will be 
minimum.

Yes, It's reasonable. But we shouldn't forgot the sensor bias. The bias is the 
constant part of error at the darks.
