1. A control system comprising: one or more sensors; and a controller configured to: receive a signal indicative of a current position of a machine on a work surface as the machine travels along a first direction; initiate a scanning of the work surface, by using the one or more sensors, along the first direction when the machine is at a predetermined distance from a target area; receive, from the one or more sensors, data, indicative of a contour of the work surface; identify a raised contour and a contour edge within the target area based on the data indicative of the contour as the machine approaches the target area while traveling along a second direction, the second direction being different from the first direction; determine a location of the contour edge within the target area based on identifying the raised contour and the contour edge within the target area; and control a positioning of the machine, within the target area and relative to the raised contour, such that tires of the machine coincide with the contour edge.
