The paper presents a new approach for robust {ASR} using ideal binary masks as feature vectors. This method is evaluated on a speaker-independent isolated digit database, {TIDIGIT}. Discrete Hidden Markov Model is used for the recognition and the observation vectors are quantized using {K-}means algorithm with Hamming distance. It is found that a recognition rate as high as 92\% for clean speech is achievable using Ideal Binary Masks (IBM). It is also observed that {IBM} feature vectors are robust to different noise conditions." }
