Claim 10:
11. A computer-implemented method of selective input confirmation for automated loading by a work vehicle comprising a main frame and 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 during a loading process having one or more loading stages, the method comprising:
detecting, via at least one detector associated with the work vehicle, one or more location inputs for the loading area;
receiving first user inputs corresponding to selected automation for any one or more of the one or more loading stages;
for one or more selectively automated loading stages, executing detection routines with respect to parameters of the loading area based on the detected one or more location inputs, and determining whether one or more second user inputs are required with respect to one or more of the parameters of the loading area;
for any one or more of the parameters of the loading area requiring second user inputs,
generating an image of the loading area on a user interface,
receiving the one or more second user inputs, the one or more second user inputs comprising a circular or elliptical swiped engagement of the user interface to define a closed area therein, and/or one or more tapped engagements via the user interface,
automatically estimating a contour of a vehicle wheel 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 controlling 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.
