Improvement in the accuracy of the postclassification of land use and land cover (LULC) is important to fulfil the need for the rapid mapping of LULC that can describe the changing conditions of phenomena resulting from interactions between humans and the environment. This study proposes the majority of segment-based filtering (MaSegFil) as an approach that can be used for spatial filters of supervised digital classification results. Three digital classification approaches, namely, maximum likelihood (ML), random forest (RF), and the support vector machine (SVM), were applied to test the improvement in the accuracy of LULC postclassification using the MaSegFil approach, based on annual cloud-free Landsat 8 satellite imagery data from 2019. The results of the accuracy assessment for the ML, RF, and SVM classifications before implementing the MaSegFil approach were 73.6%, 77.7%, and 77.5%, respectively. In addition, after using this approach, which was able to reduce pixel noise from the results of the ML, RF, and SVM classifications, there were increases in the accuracy of 81.7%, 85.2%, and 84.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the method that has the best accuracy RF classifier was applied to several national priority watershed locations in Indonesia. The results show that the use of the MaSegFil approach implemented on these watersheds to classify LULC had a variation in overall accuracy ranging from 83.28% to 89.76% and an accuracy improvement of 6.41% to 15.83%.
