A fill detection system for controlling and optimizing a discharge of a commodity into a receiving container from a supply container. The system can determine a measured fill profile for the commodity in the receiving container that can be at least partially based on information from one or more height sensing sensors. The system can also determine one or more confidence levels, including with respect to information provided by the height sensing sensors. The system can further utilize an algorithm or model to determine a simulated fill profile. The measured and/or simulated fill profiles can be adjusted, including weighted, based on the confidence value(s) in connection with determining an estimated fill profile. The estimated fill profile can be compared to a desired fill profile in connection with determining whether to continue discharging commodity and/or adjust a location at which commodity is being discharged into the receiving container.
