Stride:

Definition from https://deepai.org/machine-learning-glossary-and-terms/stride:

"Stride is a parameter of the neural network's filter that modifies the amount of movement over the image or video. For example, if a neural network's stride is set to 1, the filter will move one pixel, or unit,  at a time."

Dilation:

Dilation is the number of pixels to skip during convolution operation.
