In this paper, we study the problem of observer linearization for single output dynamical systems in the presence of an output‐dependent time‐scaling transformation and a simultaneous output diffeomorphism. The approach, based on an exterior calculus approach, provides a constructive approach to the problem of equivalence of a locally observable nonlinear system to a linear observer form by means of an output dependent time‐scale transformation, an output diffeomorphism and a state‐space diffeomorphism. A generalization of existing results is obtained which allows the treatment of a larger class of locally observable nonlinear systems.
