Disclosed herein are systems, methods and computer program products for object state prediction. For example, the methods include: obtaining, by a computing device, LiDAR datasets from a LiDAR system; and generating, by the computing device, a most likely sequence of states for an object using (i) velocity and acceleration values that are each functions of center point coordinates of amodal cuboids encompassing at least some points in LiDAR point clouds comprising the LiDAR datasets and (ii) a score that is a function of a first geometrical distance of a given point in the LiDAR datasets to an edge of an amodal cuboid and a second geometrical distance from the given point to a center point of the amodal cuboid.
