AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING A POSITION OF A HARVESTING IMPLEMENT OF AN AGRICULTURAL HARVESTER

An agricultural method for automatically controlling a position of a harvesting implement of an agricultural harvester, where the harvesting implement may be movably supported relative to a chassis of the agricultural harvester, and where a cab may be movably supported relative to the chassis, may include receiving inertial movement data from an implement-based inertial measurement unit (IMU) supported on the harvesting implement and inertial movement data from a vehicle-based IMU supported on at least one of the cab or the chassis of the agricultural harvester. The method may further include determining a relative movement parameter of the harvesting implement relative to the at least one of the cab or the chassis based at least in part on the inertial movement data. Additionally, the method may include controlling an operation of an implement actuator based at least in part on the relative movement parameter.
