Embodiments of the invention relate to a method of extracting eye velocity information from a video footage having a plurality of frames comprising detecting at least part of an eye in at least two frames of the video footage applying an optical flow algorithm to the at least two frames of the video footage to extract pixel velocity information and determining a statistical measure from the pixel velocity information within the detected at least part of the eye. Other embodiments of the invention relate to a method of extracting head image trajectory information from a video footage having a plurality of frames comprising detecting at least part of a facial region of the head image in at least two frames of the video footage determining a measure of the movement of the at least part of a facial region between the at least two frames and determining a transformation map from the measure of the movement.
