autocorrelation
autocorrelation The correlation of a wave-form with itself; a special case of cross-correlation. The autocorrelation function (ACF) is especially useful in the identification of multiples within a seismic record. While the ACF contains all the amplitude and frequency information of the original wave-form, it possesses no phase information.
