In order to estimate the rotation period of stars and to understand the associated uncertainties resulting, for example, from discontinuities in the curves and (or) low signal-to-noise ratio, we have compared three different methods for light curves treatment. These methods were applied to many light curves with different characteristics. First, a Visual Analysis was undertaken for each light curve, giving a general perspective on the different phenomena reflected in the curves. The results obtained by this method regarding the rotation period of the star, the presence of spots, or the star nature (binary system or other) were then compared with those obtained by two accurate methods: the CLEANest method, based on the DCDFT (Date Compensated Discrete Fourier Transform), and the Wavelet method, based on the Wavelet Transform. Our results show that all three methods have similar levels of accuracy and can complement each other. Nevertheless, the Wavelet method gives more information about the star, from the wavelet map, showing the variations of frequencies over time in the signal. Finally, we discuss the limitations of these methods, the efficiency to give us informations about the star and the development of tools to integrate different methods into a single analysis / Um dos principais objetivos do Grupo do CoRoT de Natal ? a determina??o do per?odo de rota??o para milhares de estrelas, um par?metro fundamental para o estudo da hist?ria evolutiva estelar. Para estimar o per?odo de rota??o das estrelas e compreender as incertezas associadas resultantes, por exemplo, das descontinuidades nas curvas e (ou) das baixas raz?es sinal-ru?do, comparamos tr?s diferentes m?todos para o tratamento das curvas de luz nesta disserta??o. Estes m?todos foram aplicados na an?lise de curvas de luz com diferentes caracter?sticas. Primeiro, uma An?lise Visual foi realizada para cada curva de luz, dando uma perspectiva geral sobre os diferentes fen?menos destacados nas curvas. Os resultados obtidos por este m?todo em rela??o ao per?odo de rota??o da estrela, a presen?a de manchas, ou a natureza da estrela (sistema bin?rio ou outro) foram ent?o comparados com aqueles obtidos por outros dois m?todos mais precisos: o m?todo CLEANest, com base na DCDFT (Date Compensated Discrete Fourier Transform), e o m?todo Wavelet, com base na Transformada Wavelet. Nossos resultados mostram que os tr?s m?todos apresentam n?veis similares de precis?o e cada um pode complementar o outro. No entanto, o m?todo Wavelet pode fornecer informa??es adicionais sobre a estrela estudada, a partir do mapa wavelet, mostrando as varia??es de freq??ncias no sinal ao longo do tempo. Finalmente, discutimos as limita??es destes m?todos, os n?veis de efici?ncia em fornecer informa??es sobre a estrela, bem como o poss?vel desenvolvimento de ferramentas para integrar m?todos diferentes em uma ?nica an?lise
