Why ITK v 5.0.1 can not find the fuzzy connectedness method?

I want to use fuzzy connectedness method in my project. In the network, it shows that the itk::SimpleFuzzyConnectednessScalarImageFilter is available. However, I can not find a itkSimpleFuzzyConnectednessScalarImageFilter header file. The version of itk is 5.0.1. How can I use fuzzy connectedness method by ITK?

itkSimpleFuzzyConnectednessScalarImageFilter is patented code, and has been removed from ITK about 10 years ago.

Is there alternative method about fuzzy connectedness in ITK?

If you are in a jurisdiction where that method is not patented, you could use the version from ITK 3.20.

@zandarina also wanted to use it, maybe she has updated it to compile with current version of ITK?

Alternatively, you could choose another region growing filter.
