I am not sure but I think that is called the "nearest feature transform" and AFAIK it is not implemented in OpenCV.

In any case you only want to find the nearest zero feature of a few of points you can find it integrating the trajectory which start in your "working point" following the gradient of the distance transform image. On a few steps bounded by the sqrt(width*height) you will find eventually the nearest zero feature.
