Using pgfplots, how do I arrange my data matrix for a surface plot so that each cell in the matrix is plotted as a square?

I'm trying to use pgfplots to visualise a matrix using \addplot3[surf] and view={0}{90}. However, pgfplots colours each segment based on the value at the vertices, so that input coordinates in a 3x3-matrix result in only 2*2=4 coloured segments:

\documentclass{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots}
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.5.1}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}[view={0}{90},
    width=4cm,
    height=4cm,
    colorbar right]
\addplot3[surf] coordinates {
    (0,0,0) (0,1,1) (0,2,2)

    (1,0,1) (1,1,2) (1,2,4)

    (2,0,2) (2,1,4) (2,2,8)
  };
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

This results in:

Illustration of unwanted behaviour

Is there a way to specify the colours of the segments directly for an image-view of a matrix?
