Abstract
A controller may obtain initial sensing data to determine an estimated weight associated with each initial load of one or more initial loads of material carried by an implement. The controller may identify an estimated weigh accuracy metric associated with each initial load and an estimated weight accuracy metric associated with a final load to be carried by the implement. The controller may determine a target weight for the final load based on the estimated weights of the one or more initial loads, the estimated weight accuracy metrics of the one or more initial loads, or the estimated weight accuracy metric associated with the final load. The controller may obtain final sensing data to determine an estimated weight associated with the final load and may cause the implement to perform one or more actions based on the estimated weight of the final load and the target weight.
