We present a new method to perform seismic event registration enabling an automated calibration of PP and PS seismic sections/volumes. The algorithm is characterized by its multi‐resolution and multi‐attribute approach. The outcome of the process is a PS seismic volume stretched to the PP time scale allowing a joint analysis and inversion of the multi‐component data set. Furthermore, a high‐resolution vp‐vs ratio volume is generated that can potentially be used as a new seismic attribute in reservoir characterization or can be applied as the vp‐vs ratio trend model in elastic impedance inversion. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated at hand of synthetic, as well as, real data from the North Sea.
