I use this to functions as a base of my tracking algorithm.

    //1. detect the features
    cv::goodFeaturesToTrack(gray_prev, // the image 
    features,   // the output detected features
    max_count,  // the maximum number of features 
    qlevel,     // quality level
    minDist);   // min distance between two features

    // 2. track features
    cv::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(
    gray_prev, gray, // 2 consecutive images
    points_prev, // input point positions in first im
    points_cur, // output point positions in the 2nd
    status,    // tracking success
    err);      // tracking error

cv::calcOpticalFlowPyrLK takes vector of points from the previous image as input, and returns appropriate points on the next image. Suppose I have random pixel (x, y) on the previous image, how can I calculate position of this pixel on the next image using OpenCV optical flow function?
