English term or phrase: get a reading on
In the exemplary embodiment calculation of the light profile estimation 210.
This is determined by defining V_face 300 as the value of the average face color.
V_face 300 could also be determined from other intrinsic parameters of a photo in order
to get a reading on the lighting of the environment. For example, V_face 300 could be
5 determined from the shine on the hair, by using the extreme of shine and shadow on the
hair to provide a method to calibrate the face color value V_face (e.g. compute V_face
on a scale between the smallest V and largest V on the hair and remap it to a
normalized scale).

French translation:avoir une indication de
Explanation:
Littéralement, "get a reading on" se traduirait par "faire une lecture de" . Cependant, dans ce cas, il s'agit plus d'une interprétation que d'une lecture directe. Il me semble qu'"avoir une indication de" convient donc mieux.

Il ne faut pas traduire par "estimer" étant donné que ce terme doit déjà être employé en début de paragraphe.

Explanation:
If we consider "get a reading" in the context of the complete phrase, it's apparent (but not abundantly clear, I grant you...) that 'V_face' - whether determined from an actual face in the image or from some other image feature, such as hair - is being used to establish a reference for the colo(u) temperature of the incident illumination. With knowledge of that reference, everything can be normalized, as the basis for optimising the processed image quality.
