The Gimp's Resynthesizer plugin should be able to do what you want,
but I don't know how difficult it might be to automate it and have it
still look good on most images. I would try it on a few images
manually and see how it looks first.

I know this doesn't get you the batch processing you are looking for,
but that could be put together after deciding this is the way to go.
