Work machines and methods and systems to control and determine a position of an associated implement

A method, comprising:

• predicting, by executing an instruction with at least one processor, a first position of a vehicle component of a work machine using first processes based on sensor data and a commanded position of the vehicle component;
• determining, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a second position of the vehicle component using second processes based on a location of a target within image data, the target coupled to the vehicle component;
• comparing, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, the first position of the vehicle component and the second position of the vehicle component;
• and
• based on a difference between the first position and the second position, causing, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, the vehicle component to move further toward the commanded position to correct for the difference.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to, at least:

• predict a first position of a vehicle component of a work machine using first processes based on sensor data and a commanded position of the vehicle component;
• determine a second position of the vehicle component using second processes based on a location of a target within image data, the target coupled to the vehicle component;
• compare the first position of the vehicle component and the second position of the vehicle component;
• and
• based on a difference between the first position and the second position, cause the vehicle component to move further toward the commanded position to correct for the difference.

A work machine, comprising:

• a first vehicle component movable relative to a second vehicle component;
• and
• a processor to:
• cause the first vehicle component to move toward a commanded position;
• predict a first position of the first vehicle component of the work machine using first processes based on sensor data and the commanded position;
• determine a second position of the first vehicle component using second processes based on a location of a target within image data, the target coupled to the vehicle component;
• and
• in response to a difference between the first position and the second position, to cause the first vehicle component to move further toward the commanded position to correct for the difference.
