Thanks for posting the PTO. I also got a black screen from it. The problem is that the visible content is outside of the viewing area. If you zoom out a good bit or start lux with --hfov_view=90, you'll see the images (which have quite small hfov of 14 degrees) near the top of the view. The pitch values in your PTO are larger than the hfov (17.4024521555217), and so the visible content is placed in an area which is not inside the viewing area. I can see how this is confusing - maybe I should add code to center the view to a point somewhere inside the collection of images to avoid showing a blank screen. Thanks for reporting back!
