What you're looking for is probably a Wiener filter, not a matched
filter. Matched filter is for decoding of a communication signal.

Since they are both a "filter," they are implemented by convolution.

Now, are you looking for help on:
1) Designing a Wiener filter, or
2) Implementing one, given that you have a design, or
3) Both?

To design a Wiener filter, you need to assume that your signal
of interest is stationary, and you need to estimate or derive its
spectrum.

If you do a google search, there are many explanations of
how to do a convolution in software or hardware.
