I am wondering that the imagery type may not be platform specific, but the platform is simply a way of obtaining imagery. I will keep the topic in mind.
HAPS is a platform for sensors and various sensors are proposed from high definition optical, to wide area surveillance, Lidar and Radar, etc. As with all platforms there are limitations both on weight and power requirements that put limitations on the sensors that can be implemented. There are also variations on the accuracy of the direct georeferencing, but HAPS (vs aerial) does have the advantage of a stable platform. There is no single HAPS imagery product. ArcGIS can be used very effectively with data from such platforms/sensors. So long a the image format is readable and there is sufficient orientation and camera information a mosaic dataset can be created and the imagery served making it quickly accessible. Typically a python raster type would be developed to automate the ingest of the metadata. The advantage is that the imagery becomes accessible to users as soon as it is accessible by the server. The geometric and radiometric accuracy of the data can vary over time. IE if better orientation data is determined (by post processing GPS/IMU or aerial triangulation) then the accuracy of the mosaic dataset and associated image service can be updated. If you have access to HAPS collected imagery please to try it out.
