    /** Convolution is a mathematical operation on two functions f and g,
      * producing a third function that is typically viewed as a modified
      * version of one of the original functions.
      * see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolution.
      *
      * The class provides rows, column and separate convolving operations
      * of a point cloud.
      * Columns and separate convolution is only allowed on organised
      * point clouds.
      *
      * When convolving, computing the rows and cols elements at 1/2 kernel
      * width distance from the borders is not defined. We allow for 3
      * policies:
      * - Ignoring: elements at special locations are filled with zero
      * (default behaviour)
      * - Mirroring: the missing rows or columns are obtained throug mirroring
      * - Duplicating: the missing rows or columns are obtained throug
      * duplicating
