Abstract In this paper we study the cross-correlation function values of geometric sequences obtained from q-ary m-sequences whose underlying m-sequences are linearly or quadratically related. These values are determined by counting the points of intersection of pairs of hypeplanes or of hyperplanes and quadric hypersurfaces of a finite geometry. The results are applied to obtain the cross-correlations of m-sequences and GMW sequences with different primitive polynomials.
