Anisotropic Non-Linear Diffusion is a powerful image processing technique, which allows to simultaneously remove the noise and enhance sharp features in two or three dimensional images. Anisotropic Diffusion is understood here in the sense of Weickert, meaning that diffusion tensors are anisotropic and reflect the local orientation of image features. This is in contrast with the non-linear diffusion filter of Perona and Malik, which only involves scalar diffusion coefficients, in other words isotropic diffusion tensors.
In this paper, we present an anisotropic non-linear diffusion technique we implemented in ITK. This technique is based on a recent adaptive scheme making the diffusion stable and requiring limited numerical resources.

Important notice :
The ITK team (specifically Matthew McCormick) has been kind enough to include the code accompanying this publication as an ITK REMOTE MODULE. A number of compilation issues affecting various platforms have been solved in the process.
Readers are thus encouraged to use the REMOTE MODULE version (more portable and updated) instead of the original version available on this page.

I could not compile the module too. I copied the unzipped module folder into the Modules/External directory of ITK 4.8 and turn on the module in ccmake. I got the following error:

I used gcc 4.4.7 on centos. ITK build OK before I added this module.
Any insights? The module looks very promising.

I use a mac with ITK 4.6.1
g++ -v yields
Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.49) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0

I could not compile the module. Which version of g++ is needed for compilation?
