Abstract
A method for estimating load weights for an implement of a work vehicle may include controlling movement of a boom of the work vehicle such that the boom is moved across a plurality of overlapping measurement regions defined along an angular travel range of the boom, wherein each measurement region is overlapped by at least one adjacent measurement region of the overlapping measurement regions across the angular travel range. The method may also include receiving load-related data associated with a load weight for the implement as the boom is moved across the overlapping measurement regions and determining a region load weight for at least one measurement region of the overlapping measurement regions based on the load-related data. In addition, the method may include calculating a final load weight for the implement based on the region load weight(s).
