Trying to use an FSR to create a "pressure map"

Hi

I am very new to Arduino so please bear with me. In short I am trying to work out if it is possible to make a pressure map, to assess areas of low and high pressure across a surface. I want to make it as easy as possible to read, so ideally it would look like the attached image to guide smoothing a surface until its all green/ red (homogeneity) (RED = high pressure, ORANGE= medium pressure, GREEN- low pressure)

Can this be done with an FSR off the shelf? Any advice appreciated!!!

How big is the surface?

What pressures are you thinking of?
What size does the map has?

With sensors like this (provided the size and sensitivity meet your requirements)?

ShuntMode MatrixArray

Hello! Thank you so much for getting back to me! The surface would be around 3cm x 3.5cm so quite small

Thinking about 100g to around 5kg, its to simulate weight bearing but doesn't have to be body weight, its the map that Im interested in. 3cm x3.5cm

Ooooo that looks super promising thank you!!!
