Abstract: An information processing system having a processor and a memory device coupled to the processor, wherein the memory device includes a set of instruction that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a multi-dimensional grid of acoustic or elastic impedances determined from seismic survey data associated with a subterranean formation, receive elastic property data that describes elastic property characteristics used to sort pseudo-components, and wherein the respective pseudo-components are formed of a combination of two or more lithologies.
