Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling movement of an implement for a self-propelled work vehicle, said implement comprising one or more components coupled to a main frame of the work vehicle, the method comprising:
defining at least one linkage joint associated with at least one of the one or more implement components, wherein a plurality of sensors are respectively associated with opposing sides of the at least one linkage joint;
receiving output signals from each of the plurality of sensors, said output signals comprising sense elements;
for each of the at least one linkage joint,
fusing the sense elements from the received output signals in an independent coordinate frame associated at least in part with the respective linkage joint, wherein the independent coordinate frame is independent of a global navigation frame for the work vehicle, and
tracking at least one joint characteristic based on at least a portion of the sense elements from the received output signals for each of the opposing sides of the respective linkage joint.
