Abstract
Methods and structures are disclosed for establishing a positioning reference frame for a work surface having one or more hidden features (such as studs) where the hidden features are detectable by way of machine-aided sensing. One method geometry, proximate to the surface, so that one or more of the hidden features can be detected and located with machine-aided sensing. One or more sensor modules are attached to the guiding frame and at least a first of the sensor modules is movable along the guiding frame. The first sensor module provides machine-aided sensing of at least a corresponding first of the hidden features. The first sensor module and/or guiding frame are moved relative to one another so that the relatively moved components become aligned to the first hidden feature according to a desired orientation.
