Linux: OpenCV and using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow function.

Fist I install OpenCV python module and I try using with Fedora 25.
I used python 2.7 version.
[root@localhost mythcat]# dnf install opencv-python.x86_64

[root@localhost mythcat]# 
This is my test script with opencv to detect flow using Lucas-Kanade Optical Flow function.
This tracks some points in a black and white video.
First you need:
- one black and white video;
- not mp4 file type file;
- the color args need to be under 4 ( see is 3);
- I used this video:
I used cv2.goodFeaturesToTrack().
We take the first frame, detect some Shi-Tomasi corner points in it, then we iteratively track those points using Lucas-Kanade optical flow.
The function cv2.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK() we pass the previous frame, previous points and next frame.
The returns next points along with some status numbers which has a value of 1 if next point is found, else zero.
That iteratively pass these next points as previous points in next step.
See the code below:
import numpy as np
import cv2

cap = cv2.VideoCapture('candle')

# params for ShiTomasi corner detection
feature_params = dict( maxCorners = 77,
                       qualityLevel = 0.3,
                       minDistance = 7,
                       blockSize = 7 )

# Parameters for lucas kanade optical flow
lk_params = dict( winSize  = (17,17),
                  maxLevel = 1,
                  criteria = (cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_EPS | cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_COUNT, 10, 0.03))

# Create some random colors
color = np.random.randint(0,255,(100,3))

# Take first frame and find corners in it
ret, old_frame = cap.read()
old_gray = cv2.cvtColor(old_frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
p0 = cv2.goodFeaturesToTrack(old_gray, mask = None, **feature_params)

# Create a mask image for drawing purposes
mask = np.zeros_like(old_frame)

while(1):
    ret,frame = cap.read()
    frame_gray = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

    # calculate optical flow
    p1, st, err = cv2.calcOpticalFlowPyrLK(old_gray, frame_gray, p0, None, **lk_params)

    # Select good points
    good_new = p1[st==1]
    good_old = p0[st==1]

    # draw the tracks
    for i,(new,old) in enumerate(zip(good_new,good_old)):
        a,b = new.ravel()
        c,d = old.ravel()
        mask = cv2.line(mask, (a,b),(c,d), color[i].tolist(), 2)
        frame = cv2.circle(frame,(a,b),5,color[i].tolist(),-1)
    img = cv2.add(frame,mask)

    cv2.imshow('frame',img)
    k = cv2.waitKey(30) & 0xff
    if k == 27:
        break

    # Now update the previous frame and previous points
    old_gray = frame_gray.copy()
    p0 = good_new.reshape(-1,1,2)

cv2.destroyAllWindows()
cap.release()
