We analyse the urban mobility in the cities of Medellín and Manizales (Colombia). Each city is represented by six mobility networks, each one encoding the origin-destination trips performed by a subset of the population corresponding to a particular socio-economic status. The nodes of each network are the different urban locations whereas links account for the existence of a trip between two di...

Two-dimensional hyper-complex (Quaternion) quadratic-phase Fourier transforms (Q-QPFT) have gained much popularity in recent years because of their applications many areas, including color image and signal processing. At the same time, Wigner–Ville distribution (WVD) analysis processing cannot be ruled out. In this paper, we study two-dimensional associated with transform (WVD-QQPFT) by employi...
