No, the date of the feature of the obstalces, I don't know what the kinect could obtain from the image~~

Data is published in multiple topics. Go through this link to understand various topics on which kinect publishes data. You can use rviz to to visualize the data. http://ros.org/wiki/openni_camera http://ros.org/wiki/turtlebot_bringup/Tutorials/groovy/3D%20Visualisation

If you want to avoid obstacles then try gmapping with kinect. http://ros.org/wiki/turtlebot_navigation/Tutorials/Build%20a%20map%20with%20SLAM
