What is meant by cross-correlation?

Cross-correlation is used to evaluate the similarity between the spectra of two different systems, for example, a sample spectrum and a reference spectrum. This technique can be used for samples where background fluctuations exceed the spectral differences caused by changes in composition.

What is the difference between cross-correlation and Pearson correlation?

In the realm of statistics, cross-correlation functions provide a measure of association between signals. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is simply a normalized version of a cross-correlation. When two times series data sets are cross-correlated, a measure of temporal similarity is achieved.

What is the difference between convolution and cross-correlation?

In signal / image processing, convolution is defined as it is defined as the integral of the product of the two functions after one is reversed and shifted. On the other hand, cross-correlation is known as sliding dot product or sliding inner-product of two functions. The filter in cross-correlation is not reversed.

How do you find the cross-correlation of two sequences?

To detect a level of correlation between two signals we use cross-correlation. It is calculated simply by multiplying and summing two-time series together. In the following example, graphs A and B are cross-correlated but graph C is not correlated to either.
