Debanding is smoothing the gradients to make them uniform, like a blur filter does.

Dithering is downgrading de color palette (from 16 to 8 bit for example) while using patterns to make for the dinamic range loss without too much percieved quality loss, like gif does.

Then in the dithering process sometimes noise is added to give a more natural look.
