Does Mat inherit from InputArray?

I've read the OpenCV documentation stating that InputArray and Mat can be used interchangeably.



But how do these two relate?



Is InputArray Mat's superclass?

    I'm not sure where exactly you see such statement. It's a proxy class "designed solely for passing parameters" -- meaning it's a thin wrapper that allows OpenCV functions to take a number of different datatypes as input (Mats, vectors, etc).
