Claim 5:
6. A work vehicle comprising:
a main frame;
at least one work attachment moveable with respect to the main frame and configured for loading and unloading material in a loading area external to the work vehicle at least during a loading process having one or more loading stages;
at least one detector configured to detect one or more location inputs for the loading area;
a user interface configured to enable at least first user inputs corresponding to selected automation for any one or more of the one or more loading stages; and
a controller configured:
for one or more selectively automated loading stages, to execute detection routines with respect to parameters of the loading area based on the detected one or more location inputs, and determine whether one or more second user inputs are required with respect to one or more of the parameters of the loading area;
to generate an image of the loading area on the user interface at least in association with a requirement of one or more second user inputs; and
for any one or more of the parameters of the loading area requiring second user inputs, to
receive the one or more second user inputs comprising a swiped engagement of the user interface,
automatically estimate one or more contours of a container associated with the loading area based at least on the generated image of the loading area and the one or more second user inputs, and
automatically control at least movement of the main frame and/or the at least one work attachment for automating the corresponding loading stages based at least in part thereon.
