The issue here is the special kind of convolution used in match
filtering.
If you want to change the issue to convolutions generally feel free to
start another thread.

Yea, _usually_.
Does this include the convolution of a function with itself?
Remember, no dodging.

Unless the convolution is of a signal with a kernel or a kernel with
itself.
In that case the deconvolution just requires taking the square root in
the frequency domain.
