Can some one please suggest, how to accomplish this task using image magick ? Basically want to know how to check image quality using image magick tool. Any help on this will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I presume you mean png and not pmg.

You can do a compare of two same sized images and get an error metric to tell the difference. This is not a check of quality as it does not know which image is better.
