You can directly access data at the address Mat::datastart

You should read that : http://docs.opencv.org/modules/core/doc/basic_structures.html?highlight=datastart#mat

For an image, data is stored row by row. You should also consider using Mat::at<type>(y,x).

Every Mat object has an pointer to its data, for example with Mat img; the data pointer is img.data. Based on your image type (when declaring or reading from image file), that pointer can be casted to unsigned char * (for CV_8U or CV_8UC1, grayscale image and other CV_8Uxx), float * (for CV_32F and other CV_32FCxx), double * (for CV_64F or other CV_64Fxx). Based on your image datatype, you will know how many bytes it needs to store a single cell.

Mat img; ... <do some works with img> float * pImg = (float*)img.data;

then pImg[0] is the first cell, the first row will end at pImg[img.cols-1]. You can access all cells with indexes range from 0 to (img.rows*img.cols)-1. Please mark your question as answered when you find what you want.
